i noticed this, too. I have talked to Mr. Feist, who is responsible for UCI in
Chessbase and asked him why there is no "movetime" command, when the level is a
fixed time per move.
He answered me, that he gives the engine the chance to think some extra seconds
if it seems to be necessary and asked if this is a problem.

I said it's not a problem, but different from the UCI specification. So it is
not a usual bug, but a divergence from the spezification. So in Fritz it is not
possible to tell the engine to think _exact_ x seconds.
