Same problem. The distribution of misalignments will be uniform.
Picture a clock frozen at the 12 o'clock position. It will be exactly aligned at midnight and noon, and exactly misaligned at 6am and 6pm. The angular misalignment will smoothly go from 0 to 180 degrees, then back at the same rate. The time it takes to move into and out of alignment will change, but the average misalignment will always be 90 degrees (absolute value).
The only exception is clocks which proceed at the exact same rate. Here they will both be stuck in sync, locked into whatever the initial misalignment was.
