I am in coach and still on the waitlist. Confused, I show him the Easy Update message. Again, he insists I am still in coach. I call reservations to check and they tell me the agent is wrong and I am indeed in First. I go back to the agent who then tells me reservations is wrong and he can see I am still in coach.

Call back reservations, get a nice agent, she calls LAX CS who then calls the gate to ask what's up? 30 seconds later, I get called up and without an apology, the agent hands my a First BP and just says "I was looking at the wrong thing".

Pathetic.
There are several threads on this.

Your upgrade cleared in UA reservations after you checked in.

The GA was looking in fastair. Since you checked in before your upgrade cleared, you were checked into Y.

The GA had to offload you and then re-check-you-in in order to get you your F seat.
