It doesn't work with any of Debian's Emacs-24.1, Emacs-23.4, or
Emacs-22.3.  It must have been something different.

How 'bout:

You add to your .emacs

   (defun my-checked-time (x)
     (let ((calc-float-format '(fix 1)) (calc-hms-format "%sh %sm %ss"))
       (math-format-value x)))
   (defun my-tbc-time (x)
     (let ((calc-float-format '(fix 1))(calc-hms-format "?? %sh %sm %ss"))
       (math-format-value x)))

and then you can use those printer functions in your ses files.

It's simple and safe, and it works without any changes.
