If you're connecting it to Espruino's power pins then it still goes through a 3.3v voltage regulator (which needs a bit more than 3.3v to work). If that's the case then Espruino+the display may only be getting ~3v or so, which may not be enough for the display?
About the setTime(getTime()) - are you using the main 1v72 release from the website/web IDE, or one of the github or BigRam builds? If it's not from the website and is more than a week old then it's quite possible it'll be an earlier build that doesn't have all the features/bugfixes of the main build?
