Are you perfectly sure, that it is not Muse, that adds the swing? Does
Muse have access to /dev/rtc or does it complain about permissions at
startup?

Zynadd has some issues with RT on Linux but those are differnt in my
experience (xruns when loading patches etc)

I guess the only alternatives could be dssi-Plugins like whysynth:

yet i doubt, that anyone of them really replaces all the powers of Zynadd.
