The undock event that udev generates happens on pressing the undock button, 
afterwards your system is registered as undocked while it still is in the 
dock. Undocking the system afterwards just pulls out powercord and whatever 
might still be connected (ethernet for example).
(You can track the events with 'udevadm monitor')

Windows blinks the dock led until it is safe to remove, no idea if that is 
currently possible with linux (accessing these leds that is)
