Submitting this because I dont have the time (or resources) to debug this atm and need a self-reminder: On Win32 walletpassphrase does not appear to relock after the designated amount of time as it should and as it does on Linux. Can someone check this on OSX as well?

I would argue this is more of a priority medium-high as it represents a serious security risk for Win32 users who depend on the wallet re-locking when they believe it does.

This is definitely a high-priority issue!! Being a user myself, although I don't have many bitcoins in my wallet, I don't feel like those are secured anyway.

Seems to work perfectly on OSX.
Here's how I tested:
Ran the Bitcoin-Qt GUI with -server -testnet on a datadir with a locked wallet.
Unlocked using both walletpassphrase RPC command AND by sending coins from the GUI. Observed: wallet re-locked itself either immediately (if send from GUI) or after timeout (using walletpassphrase).
