So here's what United.com says about the UG Standby list:

How are standby customers prioritized?

Customers standing by are prioritized by the PremierŪ status of the traveler. Specifically, United Global ServicesŪ members will have the highest priority, followed by Premier 1KŪ, Premier Platinum, Premier Gold, Premier Silver members, other MileagePlus members and then all remaining customers.
If there are multiple members with the same Premier status, the fare class originally purchased is used to determine priority. In the event there are multiple members with the same Premier status and fare class, the time that the member was added to the standby list is the determining factor.

So I'm not sure how lower-status folks are apparently starting to trump higher-status passengers according to these reports.
