As you can see by the OP's update that's how it works. If it doesn't clear before the 24 hour mark it usually gets messed up on the list but the agents at the airport can fix it. Happens to me all the time, I always buy F or J but my travel companions sometimes don't, so I'm used to sponsoring others when on different reservations.
