} I think the code in typeset_single() near
}   if (!readonly && !strcmp(pname, "SECONDS"))
} is to blame, it does something magic if you're changing the type of
} $SECONDS and then returns without checking any other options given to
} typeset. I tried removing the return pm; and setting err=0; but that
} segfaults.

Try this:

                } else if (!setsecondstype(pm, on, off)) {
                    if (value && !setsparam(pname, ztrdup(value)))
                        return NULL;
                    /* return pm; */
                    usepm = 1;
                    err = 0;
                }
