No. It is known (to me). I believe that the problem is in server
configuration. The DescrabeCoverage
http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/wcs?SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=DescribeCoverage&VERSION=1.0.0&COVERAGE=modis-001

specifies

<temporalDomain>
<gml:timePosition>2002-001</gml:timePosition>
</temporalDomain>

but the layer itself probably is not configured to support time, so a
GetCoverage request with TIME=2002-001 gives:

"The WCS vendor also reported: msWCSGetCoverage(): WCS server error.
Underlying layer is not tiled, unable to do temporal subsetting."

I am a bit reluctant to add (another, how many more?) hack for it in
QGIS, so that if only one time position is defined, the TIME param
won't be used. But that would be probably only for this particular
(wrong?) server configuration.
