Don't forget that your flight could have passengers connecting from earlier flights (for example, in your case, connecting from the Bahamas). In these instances, there would be elites checking in ahead of you, so they would presumably already be ahead of you on the list. This is a much worse situation for those of us who are originating out of a hub.
But I've had the problem too... I thought it was a slow internet connection or something. Glad to hear it's being fixed.
