It seems to me that the automatic turning off 'feature' is actually designed in. The way the thing works and is designed almost seems like the intent of the valve was to turn off with a surge of water pressure. This would make sense as it would protect the fixtures from leaking and damage.

The Accor valves are not designed to shut off automatically, but they will sometimes close if the water pressure gets too high. I would call it a defective valve. You can buy a flexible toilet supply line that has a flow device that will automatically close when there is a leak and the water flows faster than normal. I don't like them because the only way to reset it is to remove the entire connection from the valve.
