I was a NW flight HNL-SEA a few weeks ago where BPs were scanned, and a pax ended up on my flight when she should have been on another flight. She didn't figure this out until we had just started pushing back. They didn't let her off. Not sure what her destination was supposed to be. She kept asking the FA how the GA let her get on the wrong flight especially since her BP was scanned.
