Not quite:

JMeter 2.0.2 calculates the end-time from the start-time + the
duration (if > 0).

So if the startup-time is now or in the future, the duration works as expected.

However, if the startup time is in the past, a startup delay of > 0 is
needed to make sure that the startup time is reset before calculating
the end time.

This has been fixed, so that the next version of JMeter (2.0.3?) will
assume that a past start-time means now.

These are only the defaults when loading an existing test plan which
does not have any times set. This should probably be changed to assume
current time/date.

If a thread group is created in a new plan, the defaults are the
current time/date.
