Which shouldn't be an issue as no one else should be logging into your account.
I think it was handled in this manner even in 11, but been a while so i can't remember for sure.
Personally I wouldn't mind if it worked that way, but I guess it could be annoying for people who share accounts. Which is a legitimate thing to do in my opinion.

And I'm almost certain it wasn't handled that way in XI. At least I sometimes had to wait a few seconds after reconnecting because my character wasn't completely logged out yet.

Great news that they finally got rid of the bug either way ~
