Description:Read() exits after ResponseTimeout() and falls through to next priority.  Shouldn't Read() land in 't'imeout if it's reacting on ResponseTimeout()?  If this isn't a bug, please update the Wiki on how to handle Timeous with app_read

It's not really reacting on ResponseTimeout in the traditional sense of the word. It may use that value as a default if you didn't explicitly supply it with one, but the concept of timing out waiting for a string of digits in app_read is not the same as a ResponseTimeout waiting for digits to match an extension in the given context. You get no unique notification from app_read that it timed out while waiting for input. If you want to reach 't' after  waiting the specified time for digits, you may want to look into the use of WaitExten instead of Read.

This behavior is correct.
