You may be able to find an agent willing to bend the rules, however. Just ask nicely--especially at IAD.
I actually think that should be fine. It is breaking the rules to standby for an earlier flight for the red-eye and to then not stand by for an earlier flight to CLT, since this creates a stopover and would be a change in the fare rules or something of that ilk, don't remember the exact reason, but you can still get check-in agents to allow you to do that, I've done that before flying SFO-IAD-LGA.
You should be fine. ^
