I have observed this myself and also seen it documented in several places, but it doesn't seem to work every time (unless he just takes a really long time to arrive?)

This is not a bug, by the way, but seems to be a deliberate behavior (bearing in mind that M'aiq himself is somewhat a joke by the programmers) In Skyrim, he does say something about looking for calipers....
