I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but (1) I don't think a reservations agent can make changes to the airport PALL/standby list, and (2) the list gets cleared at the gate (often not until T-30m at the earliest), so it shouldn't really matter whether you're properly annotated on the list until you get to the airport.
