I've never had that particular problem--and it's no different than running up the steps/escalators to the departing people movers just to see one pull away, and have to wait for the next one.
Just about the only good thing I can say about the IAD trains is that they have like 8 escalators feeding the platform. If there's someone blocking one, choose a different one (or yell "move to the side, please," which I have had to do in ORD getting down to the tunnel between B & C).
