Comment:

 The buildbot timeout is more of a system-stability thing than an expected-
 behavior thing, so it goes for the kill immediately.  In other words, your
 testing regime should not depend on this behavior.

 You could run your scripts in a wrapper that kills them "gently" after 1h,
 and bump the buildbot timeout up to 1.5h.  You could also probably hack
 the buildslave to send the SIGTERMs, if you'd like.
