With a bit of DuckDuckGo-Fu I found this page:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.protocols.time.ntp/6027o9QKpTA

Which led me to this page here:
http://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452

Which suggests that these changes are normal behaviour. It's just the kernel switching between PLL and FLL mode because the poll interval is changing. So it would seem that these log entries are nothing to worry about!
