If anybody's interested, I made two minor changes to the (modified) script:

1) removed the "cancel" button from the dialog because it's not necessary (plus, clicking it gives an error)

2) the total time (in minutes) is added to the clipboard. When pasted into omnifocus, this number takes the appearance of "__h __m" like you'd expect

Code:
-- Sum estimated times, display sum in Growl and copy sum to clipboard (for later pasting back into estimated time for an entire project, or elsewhere).
-- Jake Bowers (jwb1970@gmail.com), 2008-24-10
-- largely based on RobTrew's StartTimer.scpt Ver 0.02 for code to adds up durations of selected tasks (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=4748)
-- and on hint from a11en in thread Minuteur Applescript for Growl Notification. (http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=6749)
-- James O'Leary (jpo@me.com), 2008-08-11 
-- now can handle context view "boxes) (assigned an estimated time of 0) and the time displayed is in hours and minutes instead of
-- just a straight up hours number. Displays in dialog box now instead of copying to clipboard. Item count displayed as well.

-- Removed "cancel" button in dialog. Total time in minutes is copied to the clipboard.
