Reaper Counter At Half-Speed Inaccurate?

I'm transferring some tapes that have to be played back at 1/2 speed.
I'm setting the playback speed at .5, and the source plays fine.
The counter confuses me though - it seems not to be accurate.

For instance, if I play a song that is 3:00, the counter does not advance to 6:00, but somewhere less.
What is the reason for this?
 
Are you referrring to the bar and time counter on the transpoirt bar in Reaper?

I just loaded up a song, set the playback rate to 0.5 and hit play. The song played back at half speed ok. The counter continued to reflect the times and measures as shown on the screen
 
Not actuall helping, I know, but I was recently doing the opposite - playing back at double speed - and got all confused. I think the timeline doesn’t change when you change the play rate, so it should read out the normal speed time regardless.
