Yes, I've seen the same thing. I believe it's a limitation of the rsync protocol currently, only seconds are transferred. (The protocol is also used on local transfers between communicating rsync processes.). I expect that this will be addressed in a future version of rsync, but unfortunately I can't say when that will happen.
