[BUG] org-timer-set-timer evaluates "0:0x" effort into x seconds in org agenda, while org-mode file it works fine with x minutes [9.7.31 (N/A @ /nix/store/kjj6m7c2l5x6jx0wk1k4jxgl07r7k0kc-emacs-packages-deps/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9999snapshot1/)]

[Arthur Heymans]

Hello

I have an issue with org-timer-set-timer when used on a node with an
effort set of the format “0:0x”. The intended behavior is that this is
evaluated into a timer of x minutes. This works fine in an org-mode
buffer.

However if I try to do the same in a calendar buffer the timer gets set
to x seconds.

The follow hack seems to work around the issue
