Interesting. I was not told that by gate agent. Under what circumstances would this happen?
First, I'm going to give you my opinion on agents who work at the airport. I never believe anything they say. I don't necessarily disbelieve it, but I put zero faith in what they say.

In your case, it doesn't sound inaccurate, as non-revs do show up that way, every (?) time (maybe excluding deadheading pilots). But it's incomplete.

Book Flex on a 320 (I'm using a 2 cabin example because it's simpler). Request an eUpgrade after check-in (yes, not easy, I know). You're now showing on the J list (named "upgrade" in the app). Stand by for an earlier flight. On that list, you'll show up on the J list ("upgrade") and Y list ("standby").

Definitely less common than non-revs, and you'll be above them all in this situation, but it's certainly possible.
