It allows re-connection to an SSH session after you are dropped from what I understand.

This is for people who are on cell connections/spotty internet.

That was the idea, but it needs server support and the server side was never implemented in OpenSSH.

Perhaps roaming makes some kind of man-in-the-middle attack possible?

The roaming thing occurs post negotiation, so the connection is already fully encrypted.
