Yep, I find that to be the case more often than not - the priority queue completely ignored / unmanaged.
The answer is simply to prolong lounge time and get on last - try to get front row so the crew have to find space for your cabin bags if the overheads get jammed full of unchallenged excess bags.
That said, shock - horror, I have been on two recent flights when QF actually boarded the aircraft from both front and rear!
That's only taken them, what, ten years to figure out (compared with VA and JQ)?
(...cue some Tory twit to blame the unions instead of management's stupidity...)
