Might be a problem with the MEL docking guidance or aerobridge. I have had 20 minute delays disembarking pax due to Melbourne Airport's 'supercheap' aerobridges not working, particularly the newer internationals. Had the bizarre sight of the aerobridge cab right in front of the aircraft pointing directly at the cockpit once as we 'turned on'.
Never have the problem elsewhere, including India, China...except one fell over in Hong Kong recently!
They are pretty fast getting the landing and blocks time at MEL though, presumably for the handling bill.
