Jobs with a maximum runtime get canceled immediately after a restart, U0011545, maximum runtime exceeded

Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
U0011545 Max. runtime of task '&01' (RunID '&02') has been exceeded. Task will be canceled or terminated respectively.

Observations

Maximum-runtime does not work correct on restart. Jobs with a maximum runtime set (e.g. 10 minutes) get canceled immediately after a restart. Maximum-runtime is set to 0.     

Investigation

A simple Workflow (e.g. with only one object, might be a SCRI, JOBS...). In the Task Properties of this object, the Maximum Runtime is set to 1 hour.
The job itself might be simple. The task is executed and when it fails it should be repeated.
Although the MRT is set to 1 hour and the workflow runs only for a few minutes, the task ends with:
 

"U0011545 Max. runtime of task 'INC0346589.WAIT' (RunID '0001013035') has been exceeded. Task will be canceled or terminated respectively."

Conclusion

If MRT is removed, everything works again as expected.
