What I meant by =E2=80=9Cmanually=E2=80=9D was the setting in the =
timecode effect, not the comp.  Try this:

1) Create new composition, 30fps
2) Apply solid
3) Apply timecode effect to solid (under =E2=80=9Ctext=E2=80=9D)
4) Change =E2=80=9Ctime source=E2=80=9D to custom, the default is 30
5) Click on the =E2=80=9Cdrop frame=E2=80=9D option, the time units =
changes to 29.97 and the colons change to semi-colons.

You will now have two frames - 1000 & 1001 - that both show =
=E2=80=9C00;00;33;09

(which I had to do manually, the default is non-drop-frame).  Voila!  =
Every 1000 frames the same time is displayed for 2 frames.
