Glen:
Thanks for the quick follow-up. I researched this further and discovered that
the ancient bison-mode.el
(http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/incoming/bison-mode.el) that I use
includes make-regexp.el and that defines its own time-since function. The
time-date.el time-since delivered with 24.3 is correct. When I rename the
make-regexp.el version woman works as advertised. Please accept my apologies
for wasting your time.
Adam

I cannot reproduce this. Does it happen with emacs -Q?

Not for me it doesn't. What does the following return for you:
(time-since before-init-time)
For me it returns eg
(0 123 804775 342000)
What does
C-h f time-since
say?
