None of those fail for me. Could you tell us which revision youʼre
currently using? Perhaps this got fixed as a side effect of some other
change, in which case I can bisect it.

Otherwise, since youʼre the only one who can reproduce it, could you
do 'edebug-defun' on 'parse-time-string' and step through it? That
might give us a better idea of what's going wrong.

Thanks

Robert
