Airbus Clock - Lie or Truth?

"The validity of the WTB test is based on the calendar built into the a/c clock so adjusting the clock by more than 9 days will render the test log invalid - causing the slats and flaps to lock. Ordinarily the a/c clock runs with real-time updates off the GPS master clock and shouldn't be changed."

So if you were to adjust the clock by more than 9 days -- say 10 days -- you're going to have to make a slatless/flapless landing?

Any of you Airbus drivers out there know if this is the truth or just absolute rubbish?
