If you have set your watchdog timer to anything below 30 seconds then it
is a feature, not a bug ;-)
The "Low disk space!" message has a timeout of 30 seconds, during which the
main program loop is not executed and thus any watchdog timer less than or equal
to 30 seconds will be triggered. Please try a watchdog timer that is larger
than 30 seconds (but please don't use 31 seconds and expect that to work under
any and al circumstances ;-) - I suggest to keep the defult value of 60 seconds,
as used in 'runvdr').
