Allegedly the problem affects fonts that don't provide the oddball ratio character GNOME insists on using for the clock colon, including the default Ubuntu font. This can also cause the colon to render incorrectly depending on which fonts are installed on the system and what the GNOME interface font is set to.

I'm going to try the Cantarell font (the upstream GNOME default font, I think) and see if it resolves the issue.
