ClickStream Duplicate Visits

Has anyone encountered a scenario where the visit shows a slightly different visit_start_time_gmt, only seconds apart in their feed?

We have a fully combined post_visid_high, post_visid_low, visit_num AND visit_start_time_gmt. A specific case is a visitor who had 7 page views in the visit. the visit_start_time_gmt actually has a different value for page view 5. So it makes it look like they initiated a new visit in the data feed.

Page 49 of the analytics clickstream document states,

*In rare circumstances, internet irregularities, system irregularities, or the use of custom visitor IDs can result in duplicate  visit_num values for the same visitor ID that are not the same  visit. To avoid resulting issues, also include  visit_start_time_gmt when counting visits.

Not sure I can do this when the gmt value has slightly different values.
