Thanks to help from Arfeen who pointed me in the right direction, unless you set the second parameter of Yii::app()->user->login() it turns out that Yii will not use a persistent cookie, as the second parameter defaults to 0. This default 0-value overrides anything else you might have set to do with timeouts.
