I have no access to the system right now, but want to point out, that the
log was created by `journactl -k`, so I do not know if that messes with the
time stamps. I checked the output of `dmesg` but didnât see the TPM error
messages in the output â only `tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 2.0 TPM (device-id 0xFE,
rev-id 4)`. Do I need to pass a different error message to `dmesg`?

It is a good question, I don't know.. If your kernel isn't setup to
timestamp messages then the journalstamp will certainly be garbage.

No idea why you wouldn't see the messages in dmesg, if they are not in
dmesg they couldn't get into the journal

It looks like I was running an older Linux kernel version, when running `dmesg`. Sorry for the noise. Here are the messages with the Linux kernel time stamps, showing that the delays work correctly.
