Odd results with a Workdays count on an appointment field

At our school we are trying to calculate the workdays of a school term. We have a term start date field, we have a term end date field, and we have an appointment field that has the mid-term break range. 
i tried:

workdays('Term Start Date', 'Term End Date') - workdays(start('Mid-Term Break'), endof('Mid-Term Break'))

But the workdays are 1 less than they should be. 
if I leave out the mid-term break appointment subtraction then I get the correct workdays.

Is there some issue that I cannot use the appointment field to calculate workdays? Maybe because it includes hours and minutes?

    I'm pretty sure I'm not understanding some simple aspect here as this shouldn't be too culminated when the midterm break is usually only 3-5 days long and the work days should only be 1-3 days.

    This is interesting. Pretty sure it is about start() and endod() are of type 'date/type' and have to be looked at real closely.
