Agreed.

A timedelta of less than one day magnitude should be usable with time 
objects, and wrap around at midnight. That's a clear and useful extension 
to the current functionality.

I can't see a feature request (rejected or otherwise) on the bug tracker. 
Perhaps you should raise one for Python 3.4. It will have a better chance 
of being accepted if you include a patch, or at least tests.
