This does look like a bug: org-resolve-clock calls org-files-list which
does not know about the "agenda files list in a file" convention.  It
should probably call the function org-agenda-files instead of
org-files-list. org-files-list is only used in this one place and should
probably be deleted.

Try this patch:

diff --git a/lisp/org-clock.el b/lisp/org-clock.el
index ea23a8d..2ce2f22 100644
--- a/lisp/org-clock.el
+++ b/lisp/org-clock.el

 	(let ((clocks (org-find-open-clocks file)))
