For starters, this is not a bug. Rather it's the Teams app that doesn't handle multi-accounts / multi-tenants particular well at this point. In general you should be signed in to Teams desktop and Outlook desktop with the same account to avoid issues. When clicking a meeting link and being signed in to Teams, you need to be signed in with the associated account/org. to which the invite was sent (or enter as anonymous guest not signed in). If not Teams is going to use the signed in account/org. credentials trying to access a meeting in which they weren't invited to, hence being stuck in the lobby as not being recognized (that is if not "everyone" is allowed).
So this is a combination of using the Lobby options as an organizer and which tenant you're currently signed in to.
Using InPrivate / Incognito browser sessions is an alternative if having issues with the app.

Thanks for posting the issue in this forum.
"When the meeting starts, we'll let people know you're waiting." this means, Host or organizer needs to allow/accept you in the meeting. Until you're in the lobby.
Thanks,
Karthik.

and that's fine and obvious .....unless the other party has the same message in which case it's a stalemate.
