The reason this happens is because your idle time is considered by your avatar's movement in game, not direction. You can change direction all you want, but if your position doesn't move from (112, 14, 268 ) for 10 minutes (I think that's the time) then it considers you idle. That's why we jump off and on TOWs/hmgs/AA when things are quiet to refresh your idle timer. I believe it is a BF2 issue that would probably be quite difficult to get around.
