My guess is that there is a bug in your timeout script. Debugging scripts 
that get invoked on TOC timeout can be tricky.  I put my timeout routines in 
external methods so that I can easily write out debug info to a log file.

If i understand correctly, what you are trying to accomplish is:

1- user starts a session and then has x minutes of inactivity
2- at x + 1 minutes the session timesout
3- at x+2 (or later) minutes the user restarts the session and you want to 
display a warning/timed-out message

If this is the case, then one possible solution (and there is always more 
than one solution!) is to store the session id in a cookie on the user's pc, 
then you could test: if cookieSessionId != session.id...
