I don't think a timer and flash are mutually exclusive ....I usually set my camera on a tripod for family shots, like Christmas Day, with a couple of off camera flashes , and then use a 12 sec timer to get myself in the group for the shot. I use a remote control sometimes also in these scenarios, but often I find the remote in my hand is obvious ....I also find the countdown from the timer produces more natural and spontaneous expressions from people (kids love the countdown with the red flashing light). So yes, timer and flash are a good combination for certain things.

Try updating to the latest version of the Cactus firmware ... Whichever version you use (XTTL or Multibrand) .
There's been reports of the same problem with the drive mode set for remote control with 3sec timer also, and this was fixed with the latest firmware.
