Comment (by tom.prince):

 It looks like that error is caused by an explicit assert in that class
 that hasn't been adjusted.

 Looking through the other tests, I came across this comment in
 `test_iterations_simple`, which suggests another solution.
 {{{
 # note that Nightly works in local time, but the task.Clock() always
 # starts at midnight UTC, so be careful not to use times that are
 # timezone dependent -- stick to minutes-past-the-half-hour, as some
 # timezones are multiples of 30 minutes off from UTC
 }}}
