Formatting Error When Editing Pause Length

Question

Okay, so I build a lot of Workflows based on relative time, so one action takes place, then say 1 a minute later another will start. Perhaps sounds a little odd but works great for the things I need it for.
Until I upgraded to Leopard that is. Now every time I go to edit the Pause length I get a pop-up saying "Formatting error." with the option to either say "Ok" or "Undo edit", but really neither are that helpful.
After some intensive searching I can't seem to find any other mention of the error in either support documentation or on any web forums. I seem to be the only one experiencing this problem.

One of the core Apple values from many years ago, and which you would think would still be important: empathy for the user. 
But I'll gladly stop using the word "right" and instead use your word "lazy."  I'm glad they got unlazy for Lion as you say (but I'm not upgrading to the latest OS version anymore - been burned too many times with what got broken - I'll wait 'til I buy a new machine, which will be as long from now as I can make it.  Oh, and yes this is my miniscule revenge for those OS-upgrade-brokennesses, a paragraph or two of grousing - and I feel it's my "right.")
I've fooled with Applescript a couple of times years ago, and thanks for letting me know it's pretty simple, but I still have to figure it out how simple it is, and that's a pain.  But I have a better solution for what I'm doing, so thanks anyway.
