Which version of gpscorrelate did you find this problem with? Which version of libexiv2? gpscorrelate uses libexiv2 to do all the low-level EXIF file manipulation, so this kind of problem is extremely likely be due to an issue in libexiv2 itself. You can verify this by using the exiv2 command-line tool to modify such an image and see if exiftool complains in the same way.

You are right that the bug is caused by exiv2:

$ exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal+=0:0:0 0:0:1" dscRX008539.arw 
    1 image files updated
$ exiv2 -M"set Exif.GPSInfo.GPSLatitude 4/1 15/1 33/1" -M"set Exif.GPSInfo.GPSLatitudeRef N" dscRX008539.arw
$ exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal+=0:0:0 0:0:1" -m dscRX008539.arw 
Warning: Bad format (33792) for SR2Private entry 0 - dscRX008539.arw
Error: Error writing MakerNotes - dscRX008539.arw
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors

Was an issue ever raised about this the exiv2 team? I have just run into what I believe is the same bug.
