That is odd.  From the 550EX instruction booklet:
"With the quick flash feature, you can fire a flash even before the flash
is fully charged.  When the pilot lamp is yellow, a quick flash can be
fired.  The Guide No. for a quick flash is 1/2 to 1/16 that of a normal
flash."   ...and then lists circumstances where quick flash is disabled.

It seems to me that a quick flash burst should be less than 1.2ms...
