That's just how it works and you will have to deal with it in your script. So, instead of simply re-issuing switchOn().forMin(5) you have to check the switch's state first:

if (light.active) then
light.switchOff().afterMin(5)
else
light.switchOn().forMin(5)
end
or issue these two commands both as they are mutually exclusive:

light.switchOff().checkFirst().afterMin(5)
light.switchOn().checkFirst().forMin(5)

So what is your setup? What switches do you have, how are they called and what is the exact script that you created?
