Yes.  I missed your comment here in my recent response.  You have the 
basic understanding of the problem I was was describing in recent mail. 
  The other part is that 'stop moving' does not apply in this case.  It 
best only applies to a moving that is 'spun off' by a 'move ... without 
waiting'.  In the middle of a move command, it will stop the moving 
process, but it will not stop the moving command.  The command will 
continue to take 15 seconds.  (Or so I have observed on OS X.)  The 
one-second delay is not enough.

(This might be considered to be a bug.)

A move not using "without waiting" is like a 'move .. without waiting' 
followed by a 'wait ... with messages' of the same time.  Perhaps it is 
even implemented that way.

I think you might be happier with "without waiting" and such usage 
would not have this problem.
