Yes, it is a known shortcoming that these settings only work for on-disk
keys in the agent, not smartcards. Smartcards will remain unlocked as
long as they are powered currently, or until you do something like

$ gpg-connect-agent "scd killscd" /bye

ALthough the latter might actually still leave the smartcard unlocked
but simply make GnuPG unaware of this fact :-). I'm not sure.

HTH,

Peter.
