You may be hitting this bug:
https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1554
It seems to happen when the reachability register wasn't full (or above
a certain limit) when the source stopped providing samples. The source
will stay marked as system peer and ntpd will continue to serve time
even if it's actually not sychronized to anything.
