Is there anything in:

/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XClock

You could make an alias to make xclock run with those options. It may be relaunching at midnight but without your settings. It's only a guess on my part.

Solved by other means.

I downloaded the source for xclock and disabled the 12-24 logic. Now, I
have 24 hour display.
