I accidentally changed the system clock a few months into the future in the middle of a Tor browser session. The browser stopped responding, but would the failed attempts to connect to pages before I realized what was going on reveal my identity?

No, this does not reveal your identity. It does as you say - prevent Tor from connecting, since it needs the clock to be set correctly to your timezone.

which timezone doesn't actually matter, it just needs to be somewhat accurate (as in, convertible to reasonably correct utc - not sure about how much leeway there is ...)– mroqNov 8, 2014 at 1:48
