[Moved from comments to close it:]

This was a bug, see GH #7611, and was fixed for 0.14.1:

>>> pd.__version__
'0.14.1'
>>> base = pd.to_datetime("00:00", format="%H:%M")
>>> base + pd.to_timedelta(1,unit='s')
Timestamp('1900-01-01 00:00:01')
>>> base + pd.to_timedelta(1,unit='h')
Timestamp('1900-01-01 01:00:00')
