As I tried to explain, there are basically two options
here:
- Without virtualization
You see unmodified (host) times everywhere including
the boot/uptime
- With virtualization
You only see relative (guest) times for processes
and general uptime information.

While some cycles can be saved by not virtualizing this
it is mostly to allow for guests which monitor the host
and thus want to see the absolute information.

That, as I said, is most likely a bug in the kernel used
on the host, so not on purpose.
