The value of $CurrentTime isn't set until after local customizations
are performed (because $CurrentTime depends on the setting for $TimeFmt
which depends on i18n).

So, it's probably easier to simply do the time formatting directly
rather than using $CurrentTime.

On another note, if the [-...-] are intended to produce smaller
text, then you want to make sure this rule occurs before the [-...-]
markup rule (which is itself "inline").  Thus:

    Markup('timestamp', '<[-'
      '/\\(:timestamp:\\)/',
      strftime("[-$TimeFmt-]", $Now));
