Is "cutting the queue" (what this is) an unintended consequence of having a queue? It's perfectly normal behavior. Maybe it gets resolved socially, or the solution could involve tracking whether the follow-up movement happened as assumed (the real hidden assumption). Making a buffer and reducing precision doesn't solve anything actually, it makes it socially more difficult, but it's really a hack, as was choosing the closest physical phone whether a warm body was attached or not.
