no - it's awkward, but this chunk in LYCurses.h does accommodate it:

#ifdef HAVE_NAPMS
#define SECS2Secs(n) (1000 * (n))
#define Secs2SECS(n) ((n) / 1000.0)
#define SECS_FMT "%.3f"
#else
#define SECS2Secs(n) (n)
#define Secs2SECS(n) (n)
#define SECS_FMT "%.0f"
#endif

yes (slang assumes timeouts are multiples of a second).
