I'm not sure if we're talking about completely different things or what.
The afs_BlackListOnce code exists in (shipping) 1.4 and, I mean, it
certainly gets _called_. If I insert a sleep(10000) into the FetchStatus
handler, the client will give an error (or failover to another site,
etc); it won't just hang forever on the request.

And this exists in 1.4 rxi_CheckCall:

    /* see if we have a non-activity timeout */
    if (call->startWait && conn->idleDeadTime
        && ((call->startWait + conn->idleDeadTime) < now) &&
        (call->flags & RX_CALL_READER_WAIT)) {
        if (call->state == RX_STATE_ACTIVE) {
            rxi_CallError(call, RX_CALL_TIMEOUT);
            return -1;
        }
    }
