I've had the same problem, not just with Dolphin, but also with my own Wiimote library I wrote to use them within my own PC games. I think it's some sort of power saving function of the Wiimote, it's still on but waiting for a state related report. The only solution I've come up with so far which Dolphin may be able to use is to request a status report once every couple minutes. If a Dolphin developer wants to give that a shot do: send current state across 0x15, wait for a response on 0x20, then send current report mode on 0x12 to re-enable input reporting.

Just occurred to me when typing that. If Dolphin doesn't watch 0x20 and respond with the report mode on 0x12, the Wiimote will stop sending input reports.
