Possibly the problem is that time_t is unsigned on your host, and that float-time converts its argument through time_t, which fails. As far as I can see Emacs has behaved this way for some time, but it doesn't hurt to generalize float-time so that it does not fail due to out-of-range integers, so I installed that into the trunk as bzr 108928. Please give it a try on your host to see whether it fixes the problem.
