Only a little bit of fuel squirts out due to the small i.d. of the 1/8 line, not bad at all. Probably a lot less than if the oil pressure gauge line sprung a leak.
Yeah, you have it rigged nicely and it's not much of a concern. It's just one of those unsafe practices that really shouldn't be left connected forever.
