Calling methods while being offline are never executed

[Mas-Tool]

I'm using the accounts-facebook to login my application and i noticed methods are not being called when being disconnected and reconnecting to a meteor application.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login using facebook account.
2. Turn off the WIFI network (disconnects from the internet).
3. Call a method using Meteor.call
4. Turn on the WIFI network.

In this scenario (which is quite common) meteor tries to reconnect and login again in the background, but the old method calls and the new method calls are not executed.

Please supply an app (ideally a full repository on Github that can be
cloned and immediately run) and exact reproduction steps (what do we click
on exactly or what do we run in the console exactly). Please describe the
precise observed state and expected state.

Thanks @mastool, we will investigate.

I just came across another bug in the same area.
I have a few methods i call using Meteor.call('..') after the user is logged in. When the user refresh the page and the auto-login is finished, only the first Meteor.call('..') is executed and all the following ones are just dead, without even getting an error in the callback.
It's really frustrating since everything was working perfect in the previous versions and it looks like we're back to square one.

Replicated on both master and devel. Looks like the LivedataConnection quiescence state machine is slightly borked. Continuing to investigate.

Thanks for the clear repro case, @mastool. This should now be fixed on the devel branch (326b316). When you have a moment, could you check that this fixes the problem for you?
