I don't think it's fair to say that agents recruited from a fic shouldn't be aware that they were characters in a story. In fact, given that terms like "ex-Sue," "bit character," and "semi-fic blip" are common classifications, it seems unlikely they'd be able to avoid it. However, in PPC terms, that doesn't make them any less real. Directly referencing authors is a step farther than most take it,

I haven't read all of Swan's Egg, but based on Huinesoron's comments, it's about agents discovering the PPC is fictional. And while we know that the author they mention is the same one who is writing them now, in-setting only the first level of metafiction is available.
