You tried "MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss"? Uh, maybe add " PDT" or whatever is appropriate...

I tried your format, and every time I get

  Error: Unable to set calendar clock
  
  TIME:SET-CALENDAR-CLOCK
    Arg 0 (TIME:NEW-TIME): 354054620

and then drop into a debugger. Are there any steps I could do when it can't set the time to get the rest of the system to boot?

Edit: the emulator is outputting:

  arithmeticexception; file stub/output10 line 215

when I enter the time, so there must be an emulation error of some sort.

Are you typing the year as "2012" rather than "12"? The universal time you have shown here decodes as 3/22/1911, which is close enough to 100 years ago to make me wonder. Either that, or you copied the display contents by hand and left off a digit.

Yes, I did type in 2012 and I did copy the display contents by hand due to no copy/paste from the terminal window. I think I got it right, but I might have missed a digit.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm running into the same issue.
