In tournament play, if a player is knocked out and is set to be either the SB or the BUT on next hand, then there should be a Dead Small Blind or a Dead Button.
Currently the button moves and allows players still in the tournament to skip their responsibility of playing their full share of the blinds.

Re: Tournament: Button & Blinds
There are two ways to handle that condition. Poker Mavens (and PokerStars, by the way) uses the "button always moves" method. This occasionally gives someone a small advantage by letting them skip a blind. But the other method (that you mentioned) gives someone the button position two hands in row, which is probably a bigger advantage.
