If the deadheading crew boarded when their section of the cabin was called, and didn't trample children and old women underfoot I don't see the problem.
On a wider point plenty of crew where I work "commute" to/from work in uniform , and often on full commercial tickets...some are even "loyalty" card holders but they would be indistinguisable from a deadheading crewmember..should they should hang back from boarding to prevent leaving a "bad impression"?
