But LOW/M is not non-rev as he/she doesn't appear on the standby list for the flight. And with a very long upgrade list they wouldn't be clearing non-revs right now considering coach is overbooked and the flight was 20+ hours away.
Flyertalk often forgets that all those lowly Non-revs aren't created equally.
Some of them, traveling on company business for example, can book right into the Business cabin on a 3-cabin aircraft. And then
still waitlist for 3-cabin United First
That's what we call, NRPS, or Non-Revenue Positive-Space.
LOW/M = NRPS (99.9%)
