U_D does not wait for tasks to terminate.  That's always been
the case.

I consider it a flaw in Ada that there's no general-purpose
way to block waiting for the termination of a task, or a group of
tasks.  I'm not sure U_D should be that feature, though,
because then it would only work for access-to-task(s).
