Hi,
I'm far from sure about this but here goes:

When you issue a <FeedHold> Mach enters 'MC_STATE_HOLD'. Thus the GCode interpreter is busy
and cannot process any Gcode.

The only way you can cause Mach to execute Gcode is when 'MC_STATE_IDLE', which can only occurr
if you end the Gcode job or <CycleStop>.

You can test this by loading then starting a Gcode job. Now <FeedHold> and try all the buttons/functions of the GUI,
most of them don't work. That means that the Gcode interpreter chunk is running and therefore the GUI chunk is not.

The only way I could see that would that might achieve what you want is to modify the existing CycleStart() function
in the screen load script, and I may be that you would have a delay whenever you <CycleStart> not just this particular
job.

Ok, try looking at the state of the machine, as Craig alluded to.

In the cycle start button, you can put some more scripting in the up event script. 

local mstate = mc.mcCntlGetState()
if (mstate == mc.MC_STATE_HOLD) then
    wx.wxMilliSleep(2000) -- two seconds.
end
