I tried this out on 6.0.1 under Windows and verified that it is
broken.
A simple workaround might be

Export["~/Desktop/test.gif",%,"DisplayDurations"-
>ReplacePart[ConstantArray[0.5,Length[%]],3600,-1]]

Of course, this will fail if somebody views your animation for over
an hour. Don't try substituting Infinity for the long duration, since
this crashes the GIF-making subprogram.
