Hi Daniel,

Yes I believe this is a bug.  I think I've also run into this issue but
I have auto clock resolution disabled so this is not leaving open clocks
in my setup.

(setq org-clock-auto-clock-resolution nil)

This of course is only a temporary work around until a real fix occurs.
I haven't had the time to investigate this yet but it is on my list of
things to look at.
