??? Any Lisp you run resets idle-time. Idleness starts when Emacs
gets to its command loop and finds that there's no pending input. It
ends when there's some input event that causes the command loop to run
the Lisp interpreter. In your case, the input event is supplied by
the timer you set up.
So why is what you discovered surprising, let alone a problem? Am I
missing something?
