It's strange, I have checked the player list for my matches, and it's usually two full teams (or very close).
All games in general are very evenly matched as well, so for me at least it seems to work.
Of course there are some odd cases, but of my 10+ games yesterday I had like 1-2 really bad where half the team left, resulting in a stomp.
Besides, one of the biggest complaints players had prior to the matchmaking update was to enter battles which was effectivly over. If the team should be "refilled" during the game for people leaving, the newly added people will complain about just that.
Personally I think the new matchmaking is working apart from one thing: The human factor (= people leaving)

It's really weird that some players seem to think it's working. I can only question are you playing Skirmish? That seems to be the only game mode working correctly to me and others i play with.
I usually select all queues when I play solo, since I don't have a preference.
Yesterday I got a good mix of Acquisition, Skirmish, Domination and even one Ambush (if I remember correctly).
Of the two games that were loopsided yesterday, it was weird. Initially we had full 16vs16 and quite intensive fights (we probably had the advantage, but they gave us real resistance). Then it just stopped... I checked again and the other team only had three players left. Either we had a mass disconnect, or like two full squads left the match.
Spent the rest of the game driving my LAV out the redline (to see how far I got).
