Well, yes, the idea is that reduplicated verbs stems first
stood for repetion before they stood for duration and intensity.
I think the pair Ch.Sl. bojati se, "sich fürchten" vs. OHG bibe:n
"tremble" is a good example of having one or several spasms of
fear, respectively (I interpret the *bhe- root as punctual,
because I think it is somehow related to Pokorny *bhei(&)-,
*bhi:- "schlagen", ie you are struck by fear, but I can't yet
formalize it).

There is no such thing as a "*bhe- root".
