[Orgmode] Bug: org-timer-start with offset [6.36trans]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See

Hi,

I get errors when calling org-timer-start with an offset (e.g. 30 
seconds) in all cases except picking the offset up from a timestamp at 
point.


The following fails:

- Doing `C-u 30 C-c C-x C-0' or `C-u 30 M-x org-start-timer'

- Evaluating the expressions

(org-timer-start 30)

(org-timer-start "0:00:30")

Here's a backtrace of the latter case:

--------------------

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
string-match("\\([-+]?[0-9]+\\):\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\):\\([0-9]\\{2\\}\\)" nil)
org-timer-hms-to-secs(nil)
org-timer-start("0:00:30")
eval((org-timer-start "0:00:30"))
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)

---------------------

This works:

- Starting the timer without an offset

- Starting the timer with `C-u C-x C-x C-0' with point on the timestamp 
`0:00:30' -- I'm correctly prompted and the timer starts.


Yours,
Christian
