Personally I've had one such incident, where the agent couldn't complete the transaction during the phone call, and told me to wait a few hours for the final confirmation email. She specifically instructed me not to do anything with the reservation while waiting. That was also a JL award ticket in F, and needless to day, it was two very anxious hours before I got the email. With most airlines, this should be fine (such as AA), but apparently the infamous Alaska IT doesn't like it.
I refresh my res frequently when an agent is working on it to make sure they do not botch something. Never had a problem. You may see unexpected interim results when refreshing but simply viewing the reservation has never caused a problem for the agent working on changes, and this is on multiple airlines, not just AS.
