I can check the remote settings on Wednesday. Is there a way to get the settings out of the camera into a file somehow?

Here are the two remote menu settings from the two cameras:
The differences in "switch type" and "control mode" probably explains the different behavior. In the case where they aren't set to "none" the remote is generating shutter key presses, so the script isn't actually holding half press.
Going from memory, the USB remote functionality for switch type and control mode should be inoperative when a script is running. Or at least I think that's what I tried to implement at the time.
I also think the sync setting is active, although there may have needed additional setup in the script.

We added the usb_sync_wait() function to enable scripts to shoot "sync'd". While this can get complicated, I'm not so sure I'd call it "poorly defined behaviors".
