More info:
This appears to be failing in org-parse-time-string, when it compares the
string "<now>" to org-ts-regexp0
Nothing in the regexp nor in the call tree is attempting to process the
special time values.

It seems like there is missing code needed either in org-parse-time-string
to handle the special strings, or in the clock-updater code to convert the
special time strings to actual times before passing them on.

Is there somewhere else I should be submitting this bug?
