After investigating further, this is not a clock problem, but can be seen in other applications as well. I think it is a bug either in the fonts or in the font rendering apparatus that digits don't render exactly the same width. I don't know enough about X and fonts to reassign to the proper package and would ask somebody more knowledgeable to reassign.
