menu bar clock / classic clock overlap

[xegan]

OK, got a weird one here, noticed it sometime
after i updated to 10.1.2 (?fwiw)

A classic menu bar clock (Wed 7:23PM) appears
on top/adjacent of my X menu bar clock.

Here's where it get weirder.

Classic ISN'T even running.

I can also turn off the menu bar clock in X...

and it STILL appears!!...
updating/redrawing itself every minute.
X redraws on top of it, but it comes back
every minute, on the minute.
