Maybe a later update will fix this buggyness ... but it shows the lack of polish on these controllers.
Just a guess:
on Corsair Performance Pro 128GB same bug on Intel chipset (using Crystaldiskinfo 4.6.0. with Plextor PX-128M2P support): hours counting is faster (I remember something like 1 hour every 10 min)
On Amd chipset Power on count = Power on hours.

Firmware 1.08 changelog for Plextor PX-M2P:

Date: 2011/11/17

Issue : SMART attribute (power on hours).
Cause : Due to EEPROM power_on_hours add one every 10 min, we should divide by six when response it.
