Yes, that is correct. When a function is being used in a math expression,
all delays are disabled. Otherwise the script would hang in the middle of a
mathematics expression, and while that might be possible in Java, that
would be totally impossible to recover from in the asynchronous environment
of JavaScript. Sorry if that is not documented.
You'll have to consider that a feature.
