I don't think I'm really understanding what you're after here.  To me,
it seems like some of the things you're asking for are mutually
exclusive.  So, let's take them one at a time:

In post #782, you bemoan the fact that in the new version, the
"idle-expired" action was taken just once and the "idle-countingdown"
action was issued again immediately.  My proposal was to disable idle
watchdog checking until the OnWakeupWatchdog detected that the system
had resumed from sleep.  You don't appear to like this suggestion.  So,
here is my next try:

After the first "idle-expired" action, I'll ensure that the
"idle-expired" actions continue every minute until the OnWakeupWatchdog
detects that the system has resumed.  This should be close to the
behavior of the old code that you cited.

To my mind, either of these approaches address the issue you raised in
post #782.  The only difference is that, in the second method, multiple
"idle-expired" actions may be executed, potentially ad infinitum. 

The danger with both these approaches is that, if the system is asleep
for only a very brief time (or not at all) the OnWakeupWatchdog will
never (approach 1:) re-enable the OnIdleWatchdog, or (approach 2:) reset
the IsIdle countdown counter.

Which method would you prefer?  Both of them address post #782.  Both
have drawbacks.  But pick one, please.

Now, which post raises the next issue you'd like to see handled?
