This must be org-timer-set-timer; there's no org-timer-set in Org's
tree.

Yes, it seems better to at least signal a user-error if the input
doesn't match the expected format.
Anyway, I'm redirecting this to the Org list. Perhaps someone there
will be interested in improving this behavior or reviewing a patch that
does so.

org-timer-set-timer has been autoloaded since 4e2795413 (Add autoload
cookie to org-timer-set-timer, 2009-07-27).

Correct. My apologies.

Agreed. Or perhaps recognize h/m/s, like org-schedule does.

Thank you! (Org remains strangely "disconnected" from Emacs.)

Correct. My apologies again.
