Actually it does put you in queue now. If you leave the screen up it seems to shove you right back in automatically when your character logs out.
At least that's been my experience since 5.08 I think? Either way it's a nice change.
It's definitely adding you to the queue. I can't remember the exact text but it's something like "logging character out so you can log in; please wait" and the one button on it is 'cancel' rather than OK. It's running a process, not just giving you a notification.
If true, it could stand to be a little clearer, really. It does somewhat read as "cannot log in now, try again later."
So, could this get changed up in the future?
There it is; it took less than a minute to log me in automatically and get me back in the fight:

Ya know what? it does put you in lol I was a fool all along!
As you've probably found out, it places you in a queue.
The queue is to hold you until it makes sure your character isn't still logged in, verifies no data corruption, then reloads you where you should be in the game. (especially if you were in an instance dungeon, it's gotta make sure you don't appear randomly in a glitches instance dungeon XD)
