Well it's doing exactly what you asked it to, and it's consistent with
what the documentation says it'll do.

That's not really what ClientAlive is for, you probably want something
like bash's TMOUT. ClientAlive is intended to detect clients that have
dropped off the network.
With the previous behaviour, regular output would have it considered
alive even if it wasn't and the traffic would likely end up buffered in
the TCP socket buffer. (BTW it'd also mean that you could leave a
build unattended and someone could ctrl-C it and subvert your intended
policy too.)
