Hi, Org people.
This morning, I just noticed this line:
CLOCK: [2011-12-29 jeu 9:30]--[2011-12-29 jeu 11:44] => 11:44
because of the strange 11:44 total. My error is clear, as I wrote 9:30
instead of 09:30. Correcting it gives a move reasonable total:
CLOCK: [2011-12-29 jeu 09:30]--[2011-12-29 jeu 11:44] => 2:14
Yet, forgetting a leading 0 is an easy mistake (I know I should not make
mistakes!), and then, maybe (I'm not sure) Org mode could deliver
unexpected or misleading statistics out of a silent error. Not such a
problem for me, yet it could have become one if I missed it.
Would it be reasonable to suggest that Org mode be more lenient about
missing leading zeroes?
François
P.S. I wish every one is enjoying the Festive Times!

IMO, yes. This looks like a bug in org-parse-time-string which is supposed
to be an optimized parse-time-string, but look:
,----
| (setq ts "2011-12-29 Thu 2:11")
| "2011-12-29 Thu 2:11"
|
| (parse-time-string ts)
| (0 11 2 29 12 2011 4 nil nil)
| (org-parse-time-string ts)
| (0 0 0 29 12 2011 nil nil nil)

There are two regexps that match timestamps, org-ts-regexp0 and
org-ts-regexp1 (and two more, derived from the first two). In each case
the part that matches the HH:MM part is as follows:
"... \\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\):\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\)..."
in words: "exactly two digits, followed by a colon, followed by exactly
two digits". Modifying them so that the HH part can be "one or two
digits" seems to make org-parse-time-string work correctly with the above
input:
"... \\([0-9]\\{1,2\\}\\):\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\)..."
Whether this has undesirable consequences[fn:1], I don't know. Actually
it's only regexp0 that is used in org-parse-time-string, so strictly
speaking, only it needs to be modified.
Nick
Footnotes:
[fn:1] In particular, org-ts-regexp0 is explicitly used in org-odt.el, so at least that part
needs to be checked for breakage, something that I have not done.

Hi François and Nick,
I have tested this small patch, implementing Nick's solution.
No breakage on my side -- but let's be careful here.
Thanks for testing,

This should be fixed now, thanks for reporting this.
Best,
