The QML "Timer" object is implemented by QQmlTimer and that does not use 
QTimer. So it is subject to the whims of the animation.

Note that the QML class does not have a way to change the timer type.

The first link says setting the timer type does not affect the result. The 
second one contradicts the first.

So I'm guessing the second one is wrong.
