Of course you are right.  The problem with that is one of 
expectations.  

Why should TC3 operate so differently from the others?  I would 
expect it to work the same!  I suppose it could be a "feature", and 
would be so if documented, I suppose.  

But, if the designers had not intended the timer to work this way, 
it is still a bug even when documented, and even when one can take 
advantage of that bug.
Aanyway, enough of this.....
