Unfortunately, this discrepancy has deep roots. For example, the manual
has this:

          {:}       Sum times, HH:MM, plain numbers are hours.

Changing {:} or effort behaviour could be annoying. We may add another
summary-type, e.g. {::}, with the following description:

          {::}       Sum times, HH:MM, plain numbers are minutes.

WDYT?

Regards,
