I could be wrong, but I think that sagenb.org has a timeout on all computations, which may be different than any timeout due to idleness. It may reset everything every 10 minutes or so, to prevent long-running or otherwise intensive computations from using up all of the resources on the server.
So I think might be a "feature", not a bug. If it happens on a local notebook server that wasn't intentionally setup this way, then I think that would be a bug.
