I confirm that I can reproduce the bug you've spotted.

Great finding you've done there... This is the kind of obvious thing very
difficult to spot...

And, in fact, the extract I sent early of August wasn't working for me. Well,
the same version from a multi-block agenda view. This completely corroborates

These are not mine: just the default ones when pressing `C-c M-m' when
composing a message in Emacs!

Indeed, while G is good, B is not firing up the "clock check" as expected.
