So it sounds like the issue here is, how come your upgrade was not confirmed if indeed when you requested it was R1? Or did the E75 grab it when it was R1 and then when you requested, it had dropped to R0?
The nomination by an SE would not make any difference once the request went to airport control.
I wonder if the E75 was smart and checked EF or the like and saw R>0 pop up and took matters into his own hands and get the eUP processed by calling in before the flight closed. (Which I have done).
Or is the OP saying the E75 was called at the gate for his upgrade and then he was called shortly after?
