The power factor correction
capacitors make the load impedance real, they do not match
the load to the impedance of the distribution line. As such,
they have not eliminated reflections.

It's a little more complicated than that. If the voltage and current
are actually brought into phase all along the transmission line, the
system is indeed a traveling wave system free of reflections. If the
power factor is exactly 1.0 at all points up and down the line, the
line is flat, i.e. matched by definition. Of course, it's not a
perfect system and the power factor is rarely exactly 1.0 so the
system usually exhibits signs of a mismatch, an overhead expense for
the power company.
