I cannot reproduce this. Here are the steps I took.

 - clocked into a headline
 - clocked out
 - switched buffer to *scratch* (I tried it a second time with a TeX
   buffer, which also worked)
 - typed C-u M-x org-clock-in
 - selected 1 (the most recent task)

Org successfully clocked into the task in the background.

Best,
Matt
