How strictly it is enforced, however, depends largely on the gate agents you encounter. I’m afraid it’s varied.

Thanks for the insight. How does the gate agent know that one is on HBO, relegation to last boarding group? For example on UA, it's boarding group 5 but *Golds get bumped to group 1 to avoid this restriction.
