If this is indeed a solution, it makes me wonder why I hadn't been able to reproduce this in my games. (... it makes me sad that I don't seem to get what other people get... jk)

It's all great that the game now appears to play as designed now, but the guys who have had this problem probably want to see if you could reproduce the problem by not calling timeouts. If this has indeed been a bug, then it may be worth notifying them under what condition this has happened, to make it easier for them to potentially hunt down where things are going wrong.
