This is a mistake, and a left-over from v1 which I didn't notice.
Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm syncing the per-thread counts with the total count in
coverage_read_counter() so calling here the coverage_clear() that will
sync counts based on the wall-clock time has no purpose.

I will remove this call in v3.
