When playing on a server, I suddenly get dropped (possibly network problem, but more severe if the server owner resets the server).

I get presented a question dialog if I want to save the world, reconnect or quit. I want to save the world, but let's try to reconnect once.

Reconnect fails... I get represented a different dialog with only reconnect or quit. Aaargh.

Since the reconnect failed, it would have no reason to clear the 'loaded level buffer' because no new level is being downloaded. So either the buffer gets cleared too soon or it shows the wrong dialog.

Thanks for the report however that's working as intended.

The added complication to try to keep the old level around and in a valid state on the off chance that re-connection fails is not worth the time, code complication, and bugs it could introduce.
