It isn't a bug, it's just me. I had several bugs and I attributed the
effects to the wrong cause, sorry for the noise.

The 'timeout' message is of course the way the trace shows that an "after N"
clause has been chosen. It feels a little uneasy that the trace printout is
indistinguishable from the process having received the atom 'timeout' in a
message.
