Mine (without changes) seems to run every day 15 minutes later, except if 
it is powered down at the corresponding time, in which case it runs about 
15 minutes after booting.

If I touch /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily, it runs within 15 minutes; 
similarly, if it was due to run at night, but the computer was off and 
cron runs at daytime when i switch it on, the flag file will be 
timestamped daytime, of course.

I have just now edited /usr/lib/cron/run-crons:

          #cron.daily)   TIME="-ctime +1  -or -ctime 1"  ;;
          #cron.weekly)  TIME="-ctime +7  -or -ctime 7"  ;;
          #bug
          cron.daily)   TIME="-cmin +1400  -or -cmin -1400"  ;;
          cron.weekly)  TIME="-cmin +10080 -or -cmin -10080"  ;;

and I'll see if that fixes the 15' delay.
