What I'm referring to is the slider at the bottom of the preview/render window. Screen Shot 2019-11-03 at 5.26.17 pm.png If you hover the cursor over it, the scene title at the top gets replaced with the words "Render Wipe". If you drag the coloured triangle left and right, it changes the proportion of the viewport which displays the later render on the right, as selected by the black screen at its left's pop-up menu, and the prior render on the left, as selected by the white screen at the left's pop-up menu.

Indeed, I can still use QueueManager for any scene that doesn't contain my highly modified figure hierarchy, which is based on V4 and appropriate clothing. If I simply choose another figure, that doesn't have deformer evaluation order modifications, I don't see any render problems with QM. I've just found an edge case that will require a change in how Poser saves and loads actor channels in scene files. As long as they don't get re-ordered, there's no problem, but when they do, as only happens on the dependent figures, not the main figure, for undetermined reasons, the dependent figures no longer correctly follow the shape changes according to deformer influence, since the deformers don't get evaluated in the same order on both figures. Quite an esoteric problem, but fully explainable via the logic of linear algebra. An assumption that a particular process for ordering saved parameters would not change the scene upon reload, turns out not to be correct.
