Following your advice, I got rid of the anonymous function calls and used named ones.

However,

1. onActive()

(in the Idle plugin)

...should be enabled to fire, when the user becomes active again, which is the only thing that does not work with your proposed solution...

Demo (in order to trigger the "kickstart", please press the pin twice - it should turn red and back to green, which works)

It seems that there is a loss of sensitivity to user interaction at the level of the Idle-plugin?  (maybe the timing mechanism is discontinued somehow?)

Here's the amended, minimalist Idle-plugin code (which may be a deliverable of this process - if interesting to the odd user) :

1. (function ($) {
2.   'use strict';
3. 
   
4.   $.fn.idle = function (options) {
5.     var defaults = {
6.         idle: 60000, //idle time in ms
7.         events: 'mousemove keydown mousedown touchstart', //events that will trigger the idle resetter
8.         onIdle: function () {}, //callback function to be executed after idle time
9.         onActive: function () {} //callback function to be executed after back from idleness
10.       },
11.       idle = false,
12.       settings = $.extend({}, defaults, options),
13.       lastId = null,
14.       resetTimeout,
15.       timeout;
16. 
    
17.     resetTimeout = function (id, settings) {
18.       if (idle) {
19.         settings.onActive.call();
20.         idle = false;
21.       }
22.       clearTimeout(id);
23.       return timeout(settings);
24.     };
25. 
    
26.     timeout = function (settings) {
27.       var timer = setTimeout, id;
28.       id = timer(function () {
29.         idle = true;
30.         settings.onIdle.call();
31.       }, settings.idle);
32.       return id;
33.     };
34. 
    
35.     return this.each(function () {
36.       lastId = timeout(settings);
37.       $(this).on(settings.events, function (e) {
38.         lastId = resetTimeout(lastId, settings);
39.       });
40.     });
41.   };
42. }(jQuery));

Here's the salient Ajaxify code (last line triggers the change):

1.     if(!pinned) { //Kickstart after user resumes
2.             if(timer + 1) clearInterval(timer);
3.             timer = -1;
4.             if(currEl) currEl.removeClass(addclass);
5.             _slide1();
6.             _onIdle();
7.         }
8.     }
