There are specific times when this might be appropriate. For example if I am turning off at the exit after where the car is joining from, I can see they're indicating to making a move around the inner part of the roundabout which is clear, and if I proceeded I would join a queue for my exit and block them. I'll usually stop short and gesture they move in.

But otherwise it's usually safer all round to stick to the rules.

I've never seen a roundabout with a queue

Really? I see them when travelling to London all the time. I used to live in London too. A very common occurrence and if you want to keep traffic moving, allowing people that can proceed to do so, just makes sense to me.
