There was a report on that area mentioned here a while ago.

As long as the smearing is slow enough, the client servers easily track the 
drift.  There is a bump in their drift, but it's not a problem for ntp.  It's 
on the same scale as a big change in temperature.

If you are trying to use your drift as a thermometer, things will get screwed 
up.  If you know the parameters of the smearing server, you could probably 
correct for it.
