Character VWEAP physics not activating when killed indirectly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download the testfile archive from 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8874616/debug_vweap_physics.rar
merge files and open 0_debug_vweapphysics.fpm
You will see three pairs of character AIs
(green light=fadecorpse/red light=leavecorpse/blue light=raagdollcorpse) 
standinf before you.

2. With your gun, kill one of each under green red and blue light.  Observe 
that the character correctly dies and gun drops to the ground.

3. Press and hold Action key (enter) to kill the remaining three characters and 
observe the result.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When killed indirectly (via script) the characters should die as expected and 
their guns fall to the ground BUT instead we see the guns stay floating in the 
air and the leavecorpse characters don't fall down dead but you can collect 
their weapons and pass through them (that may be a separate issue)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win7 SP1

Please provide any additional information below.
debug main AI script contains the following...
;Artificial Intelligence Script
;Header
desc          = destroy when action key pressed (debug)
;Triggers
:state=0,plrusingaction=1:addhealth=-1000
;End of Script

I initially noticed this in test levels of DAI vs DAI where sometimes the 
weapon would be floating in the air.  This only seemed to happen when the AI 
died off-screen and I could not readily reproduce the bug.  For initial 
occurrences I do not know if characters replicating the floating weapon bug 
were killed by gunfire or by melee attack.  Upon trying to isolate the problem 
in this test level I expected the guns to drop when killed via script if they 
died in view of the player and expected the bug to happen only when players 
back is turned but it is reproducible when it happens in view here.  I was also 
not expecting the leavecorpse character to die "on their feet" like they are.
