The docstring says the function returns a *marker*. The function does not
return org-clock-marker but only the buffer the clock is ticking in. You
can't:

    (goto-char (org-clock-is-active))

which should be possible according to goto-char's docstring

    (goto-char POSITION)

    Set point to POSITION, a number or *marker*.

This is a minor inaccuracy, however, if you do not browse the code but
only look at functions docstring, you may loose a few minutes.
