Hmm..  I'm not clear what the bug is, then:

user> (window-avoided-p (get-window-by-name "pager"))
t
user> (window-put (get-window-by-name "pager") 'avoid #f)
()
user> (window-get (get-window-by-name "pager") 'avoid)
()
user> (window-avoided-p (get-window-by-name "pager"))
()

And, in fact:

user> (eq nil #f)
t

This means that rep thinks nil, (), and #f are all three the self-same
object, so it shouldn't matter which is used.

I also haven't had any problems disabling avoid on the pager using
SawfishConfig.  Well, to be precise, I had no problems once I realized I
was stomping all over the SawfishConfig changes to match-window-profile
with a setq in my sawfishrc....  If you're doing the same that might
explain why the timer worked for you as well.
