It's kinda strange, but it didn't work for me yesterday.
The build stopped as soon as I logged out, I used
Ctrl-D instead of logout though.

What I find more comfortable is
# at + 1 minute
make buildworld
Ctrl-D

Some time after I have new mail, containing all the
output (stdout and stderr) from the task. That's cute.

Best wishes,
