Oh yes; ran into this boarding at RSW heading for EWR yesterday.

I was in an exit row/no carry on, and headed to board the plane casually after the elite boarding announcement. Well after what seemed to be forever I actually got on to the plane and saw the issue; 90% of the elite section was already seated. And given the speed that seasoned citizens tend to move it was no wonder the huge bottleneck formed at the beginning of the coach section.
