The two digit patterns (eg. %H and %M) do not actually read in two
digits.
Using the input pattern %H%M and input data of 0080 I get 4800 minutes
(80 hours) instead of the expected 80 minutes.
Dumping out the parser regex I get / *([+-]?\\d+) *([+-]?\\d+)/. So the
two digits expected are being parsed as \d+ instead of \d{2}. The first
parameter greadily sucks up three digits instead of two.
The precision parameters provide a suitable work around. In this
example %2H%2M provides the behaviour that was initially expected.
This may be related to bug #47764.
