Yes. The values look roughly equivalent in 2280 and 2318.


Ah!  I think I found the root of the problem.

The image save timestamp was 
  (10 May 2015 3:39:16.01 pm)

The clock on your time zone is ahead of mine, so I was testing BEFORE the image was saved.

The Cuis image was saved at 15:39 (your local time)
My testing here  started at 13:24 (my local time)

NOW (19:41 local time) the UpdatingStringMorph on the panel is working in 2318.

Looks like we need to use GMT for timestamps to avoid the problem.  Not an immediate crisis, however.

Whew!
