my understanding timeout should be as transparent as possible for the application that is being executed
Sure, but no matter what 'timeout' does, it cannot possibly be transparent to every application, because that application might be using the same mechanism that 'timeout' is using. Until we know more about exactly what the application is up to, it's not clear that this is a bug in 'timeout'.
