No, I think the original issue was that it changed to a decimal when pasted
into what was perceived as a text cell in the middle of a column of cells where
that column was specifically formatted as text.

My original procedure was to "insert" blank rows into the array and assume that
the formats would default to the row preceding those being displaced - although
I would have expected the same had it taken format from the first displaced
row.
I was inserting blanks merely to ensure all range IDs expanded appropriately.
Also, I have now moved on to;

Version: 7.2.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: sv-SE (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

             and it now produces the text "17:21" as opposed to the decimal.

I am (now) also aware that pasting formulaic result "17:21:00" into a "Date"
cell doesn't produce a date but a text preceded with an apostrophe "'" and that
this is remediated with a regular expression to remove the first character in a
CTRL+H operation.

Is there a Status "RED HERRING"?🤷‍♂️
