I sort of compromised.  It can really be fixed in the core code without
touching the templates AND make it so the templates can be as crazy as
they want to be.  Instead of doing a regexp replacement hack, I turned
the elapsed UI timer into a template variable which works like any other
template variable.

The code that calculates whether or not to generate the timer, and what
the value of that time will be is in the module and core sections.
