It's because % is a special character in Cmud. You need to use the quote character, ~, in order to tell Cmud to send special characters to the mud instead of trying to interpret them. Enter this:

Nope...I enter %t/%T %m/%m %h/%H and get 34/45 / 45/60.

Yes Rahab. This is what I entered prompt %t/%T ~%m/~%M %h/%H and this is what I got 45/50 / 34/40.

Turn off parsing for the command line when doing your prompt, it's the little computer icon to the right of the command line.

don't need to turn off the prompt. #SENDRAW will send exactly what you typed, with no worries about anything getting parsed. Thus, if something goes wrong with your prompt it's obviously something that the game is doing.
The shortcut for #SENDRAW is ` at the beginning of the line. |
