Based on your post history, you don’t work for a US 121 carrier, so unless you want to pay for a zed fare to list in the back, you wouldn’t list twice. Listing twice is a United pilot thing. Offline jumpseaters just list at the gate as you did and are flowed back if seats open after all higher priority non-revs are cleared.
I think the other pilot was simply telling you he got a seat in the back from his cabin listing and the system worked as it should. Like most carriers, we can see everyone on and offline listed for the pilot and FA jump seats as well as everyone in the cabin.
