The issue isn't so much that you're getting in a few seconds sooner but rather that you can get out a few seconds sooner.

If I flop and /q and login a few seconds later and my char gets dropped from flopped LD 10 seconds sooner then he would otherwise and those 10 seconds save my feign and thus me, we're really talking about the same thing. Same thing with getting out 10 seconds early on a cleric who DAs.

I think if there's any hope of enforcing this rule, they need to set it up so that exemptions only allow you to connect to the server on a different account as opposed to the same one after LDing or whatever. This will allow people to keep their exemptions, still allows the harmless perk of the fast switch, and will prevent players from booting their threatened characters too quickly.
