I wasn't altogether certain that it could never be nil, and my eyes seem
to have skipped over the expression you called out so I missed that case
in my testing. I have reworked the patch as you suggest. Now the
behavior should be entirely unchanged except in the `untilnow' case
where we use the new date, no extra nils.
Revised patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] org-clock.el: Improve `untilnow' range behavior and
performance
* org-clock.el:
(org-clock-special-range): Set `untilnow' to use the year -50000,
rather than the earliest representable date.
(org-clock--oldest-date): Remove.
The `untilnow' range relied on the constant `org-clock--oldest-date`
to find the earliest representable date, which caused delays when
loading `org-clock' on systems where `most-negative-fixnum' is large.
This change removes that constant in favor of a simpler hack to
produce a range between the current time and before the dawn of human
civilization. If this breaks your workflow, please report to the Time
Police.
