I had exactly the same issue and can offer a workaround although not sure why this specific pipe is not being successfully picked up by the aot build:

Workaround

Copy the time-ago-pipe.ts from node_modules/time-ago-pipe and just copy this file into your own project.

Add it to your declarations in your module as normal and import this into your imports e.g:

import { TimeAgoPipe } from './_pipes/time-ago-pipe';

This will then compile successfully in AOT build and you can still use the pipe.
