Yup, that was it -- I made it flush the data on workday changes, and now
it displays correctly for me in the timelog test case -- that is, when
doing timelog-in, it'll use the current timelog-workday setting and
compute stuff correctly.

Note, however, that initial display when doing

(timeclock-mode-line-display 1)
(setq timeclock-workday (* 12 60 60))

will be incorrect -- because setting a variable like this won't trigger
mode-line updates.  (Until a minute has passed and it updates the line.)
So I've noted in the timeclock-mode-line-display doc string that this
shouldn't be done.
