Yes we in england seem to forget that we have heating to be warm. We seem to want to turn everything off and complain that technology doesn't do it's job.
If you want a large body to hold heat spending some energy is inevitable... the pump running is probably seen as a good alternative to turning things off and on which inevitably produces over and undershoot...and all the inefficiencies that go with that..
In germany I have heard of using pumps running to move warmth from a warm side of a building to a cooler side...I suspect this is the same sort of idea...
How you can prove that I dont know..
i would there is almost certainly a parameter which can turn the pump off as you desire...but you need to look at and understand the book.
have you tried lowering the reduced room temperature? That should see it off out of the heating periods..but note you may have to start the heating period earlier
If you are particularly worried about the pump cost then I would get it changed for a viessmann modulating one...they do use much less energy...
