When I first started using Protel, I used this feature, but I never use it now, as like you said above, it doesn't always connect, and sometimes it chooses very strange routes. I also found (although I haven't tried it for a long while) that it doesn't always actually make a connection when you think it has, so that when you update the PCB, you suddenly realise that some nets are unconnected (seems very dangerous to me). You also can't use the delete key to move back a step; It seems like you have back stepped, but if you try to connect to another wire, or node, it will not let you, and when you right click to abandon the action, it still places the wire.
