As I mentioned somewhere in this discussion, the feature is actually there but it's bugged so the loading indicator isn't shown.

The issue is related to the fact that the UploadButton is created by using the new keyword instead of calling the component() function, so the component is not reloaded when the state changes. The problem is that changing that line would probably break other things around, so it would need to be tested.
