I have enabled the “Use alternative auto-type method (minimize window)” and “Lock workspace when minimizing the main window” options. Why doesn KeePass lock after auto-typing?

In this very special case, the window minimization only is a way to lose the focus, i.e. the window below comes to the foreground. The minimization is not user-initiated (it’s only a side-effect of auto-type), nor a consequence of an external minimization command, therefore it is not (and should not be) affected by the automatic workspace locking handler. If you worry about having KeePass minimized and unlocked, enable the “Automatically lock workspace after the following number of seconds” option and specify a reasonable amount.
