That matches my theory about why they implemented it, too. HOWEVER, it happens at maddening time intervals, regardless of weapon changes. Standing in Governor's Garden ranking, I switch from pistol to cutlass two to four times per minute, yet it will randomly put my pistol away at the worst of times. I generally am moving around a little too; seems to be a defect that kicks in when you haven't had a scene change (door/TP/tree tunnel) in a while.
