Underlined section answers all problems:

Do Not Bot/Macro
Botting will result in a permanent ban of all accounts and any type of macro will result in a permanent account ban, no exceptions. Failure to pass the botting/macro test from GMs, regardless of "actual reasons," will be treated as using bots or macro programs.

It's about the fact that a player failed a bot test, not reason why the player failed a bot test. If a GM sees that there is action and player is not AFK at that moment (which, GMs can tell via #itemlist if feeds are consumed), GM got all the right and reason to initiate a bot test, regardless of being in monster map or a town map.

And so, regarding this:

Well, if one does not respond to the bot checks...what is a GM to do then?

Does not respond to a bot test = fail to pass a bot test = ban

I hope GMs are loud in the case of Alt-tabbers, after all, spawn camping is such a... freakishly boring way to play an alchemist, cost efficient but lame. D:
