S-M-<UP> only considers clock history during current Emacs session. Will
clarifying this in the manual suffice for your use-case?

If not limiting the command to current clock history, we would need to
look across every single Org file searching for intersecting clocks -
extremely resource-intensive procedure.

Note that you can use agenda clock check to catch clock inaccuracies.
