Just make a clean install, normal OpenWRT doesn ot have 2030 timestamps.
I found the culprit. The log file indicated that there's a cron job running every minute (* * * * * date -s 2030-01-01; service sysntpd restart) that's setting the system date to January 1, 2030, and then restarting the NTP service.
The log didn't indicate when and what added that cron job. Once that line was deleted, after touching all the future dated files excep for /proc and /etc, and rebooting the router, everything worked fine.
