The change I made was superceded by Nicolas series of patches:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/log/?qt=grep&q=fix+org-duration-to-minutes+error

I agree the new alignment looks wrong: the starting time should 
bit right-aligned with other time above/below, and the separating 
dash should not spaces for "HH:MM" time strings on the right, but
only for " H:MM".

Would you have time to prepare a patch for this?
