Yes, it definitely worked before (I've been running this and other timers for
about a month). I don't remember how I inferred that rule, but I think it was
this bit from systemd.time(7):

    "Either time or date specification may be omitted, in which case the
    current day and 00:00:00 is implied, respectively. If the second component
    is not specified, ":00" is assumed."

But I don't see any definition for these components, so maybe I'm wrong and my
timer only works by accident.

Perhaps, since it's back to the way it was before:

    # systemctl list-timers
    NEXT                         LEFT          LAST                         
PASSED             UNIT                           ACTIVATES
    Mo 2015-03-30 02:00:00 CEST  1h 44min left Mo 2015-03-30 00:00:00 CEST  
15min ago          backup-hourly.timer            backup@hourly.service
