This is a workaround for your problem (that I also faced) in order to
have the clocktables sum correctly. One just sets the time format to
hours and minutes. A real bugfix naturally would be much nicer.

-------
;; format string used when creating CLOCKSUM lines and when generating a
;; time duration (avoid showing days. some clocktable functions cannot
;; digest
;; day formats, e.g. org-clock-time%)
(setq org-time-clocksum-format
  '(:hours "%d" :require-hours t :minutes ":%02d" :require-minutes t))
--------
