A bit more clarity ...

  * If the task clock is activated on a TODO in the agenda,
  * and closed quickly enough that the elapsed time is 0:00,
  * then MOMENTARILY the agenda shows the CURRENT WALLCLOCK TIME.
  * The actual logbook entry shows the correct 0:00 elapsed task time.
  * And when the agenda is merely REFRESHED the wallclock time is
    replaced with the 0:00.


So there seems to be NO BUG.  It's just an odd transient behavior which 
I now noticed only because of tracking "time" on some small tasks.

Definitely not worth touching brittle code.  "It's just how it is."

And that's ok!  :-)

Thank you for your attention to this matter which now is clearly smaller 
than expected.
