On the 2012 event my HP 55300A did the same thing on the IRIG output. The :03 second was repeated and then normal operation resumed.
I did attempt to view the event on a 3.5" Tomtom GPS, without much joy. There's a setup screen that shows all SVs in view as well as the current UTC. When it came time to roll from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 the time line just went blank for 1 second, then rolled to 00:00:00. Their code must be checking for 'invalid' time. Bummer ...
