This does _not_ change the values.  You ask for a _subset_ of the frames and
that is what you get.  Obviously the clock is relevant for the whole set of
frames, not a _subset_ of the frames - without this behavior there wouldn't
even be a point in allowing a subset of frames to be specified.

If you read section "5.2.1.3 Subsets of Animation Frames" you will find that
it exactly specifies the above behavior.
