I'm not so sure.  The MB is talking about someone who forgot Ya'aleh 
v'Yavo (or another insert where one is required to repeat Sh"E).  Then, 
instead of repeating, you can be yotze the shaliach tzibbur.

If I recall correctly, the Rav made the point that the repetition was 
always as if you were saying the prayer yourself.  Therefore, he rules 
that one should stand for the whole repetition.  See the Rema at 124,seif 
4 and the MB there (20).

But, this is my recollection from not even this past RH, but actually from 
a year ago.  Perhaps someone with access to the Machzor could report what 
it actually says???
