The above is the offending line.  I'm still scratching my head as to why.

Nevertheless, if I temporarily hardcode this line to:

    term=rxvt

then the automatic logout feature is disabled.

A couple more tidbits:

1. If I add a line of the same form directly to my .bash_profile and
don't dot in .bash_setterm, then the problem still occurs.

2. If I create a small shell script such as the attached, then I cannot
reproduce the problem.

I will try to dig more...
