It's probably more rare that just one person will be looking for a game 
to join, as opposed to a group of people in a lobby.  Even so, I bet the 
matchmaking system will put that person on an empty server if one is 
available.  You would need to have one person looking for a game and 
have no decent servers empty in order to have another player added to a 
game that only has one open slot.

Just a guess, though.
