Thanks Kyle. Noted.

I am muddling my way through

 [info:org#Creating timestamps]
 [info:org#The date/time prompt]

and see that org-evaluate-time-range does nothing for

<2019-01-04 Fri 11:00-12:15>

which was created using the “11am+2:15” style from

— quote
   You can specify a time range by giving start and end times or by
giving a start time and a duration (in HH:MM format).  Use one or two
dash(es) as the separator in the former case and use ’+’ as the
separator in the latter case, e.g.:

     11am-1:15pm    ⇒ 11:00-13:15
     11am--1:15pm   ⇒ same as above
     11am+2:15      ⇒ same as above

   Parallel to the minibuffer prompt, a calendar is popped up(2).  When
you exit the date prompt,
— quote ends

exporting that to ASCII in a buffer transforms the time range to

<2019-01-04 Fri 11:00>–<2019-01-04 Fri 12:15>

Now, that formatting put back in the Org buffer does work for 
org-evaluate-time-range, as follows:

<2019-01-04 Fri 12:34>-<2019-01-04 Fri 12:35> 00:01
