I believe that is how the safety feature works.
Once the iron detects no movement for a certain period of time (the iron assumes you have finished ironing) the iron will shut of the heating element.
One you have moved it around, the timer should prevent it from auto shutting down for a period of time.

- thanks for more info
it looks like there is a problem with the timer circuit, really not much you can do here, if it still has warranty return it for warranty. If you have a friend who is an electrican, ask him to take a look for any obvious, else it will be cheaper buying a new iron.
