Traps don't hit actors playing Idle animations, video+code i : V

Basically, what it says in the title. If an Actor is in the midst of an Idle animation, such as standing at attention, sitting and eating, etc, physics traps pass through them like ghosts.

Here's a video:

You can see the first guard gets hit, but the second one (playing an Idle) isn't. If I break him out of the Idle by starting combat with him, he gets hit just fine.

The flying boulder is a duplicate of the TrapFallingRockSm01 activator. Here's its attached code, modified from PhysicsTrapHit.psc:

The other attached script is PhysicsTrap.psc with sane values.

Anyone have any idea what causes this or whether it can be worked around?
