VJ does expand on that in "RED in a different light".  He means that the relevant measure of queue length is to take the minimum value over some interval of time, say 100ms or 1-2 RTTs, whichever is longer.  The average queue length is irrelevant.  The nRED algorithm in that paper proposes a method of doing that.
