For queues/exechosts it is for scheduling. The man page I've got says "cannot use the cluster" which isn't clear whether it means submit, schedule or both. Still while it caught me out it seems the current behavior(block submit) is the one I should want as there are lots of other ways to block scheduling.
Fortunately all the jobs that got started in error seem to be working OK I just ended up testing things with real user jobs.
