Might be an IT thing -- with overnight bag retention requiring the agent to do more work to override the default behaviour.
I've had 0% success on check-in at the premium desk in YYC. Small sample size though, 2-5 times. All while SE or Elite, all domestic-international (Caribbean/South America). But in the other threads on this topic here, I think the community's experience has leaned much more towards not being able to do it.
