I have to retract this assertion.  Further observations revealed
that sometimes it seems the broken timer counts forwards in time and
sometimes it jumps backwards by days.

This is because the information displayed by `list-timers' is bogus
because it prepares the information using `format-seconds' which
doesn't work properly for negative arguments (bug#75849 [1]).
