Just thought I'd let you all know what happened to my flight in the end: no problems being a Silver for check-in on 30 Jun, but my connection at DXB was departing more than 24 hours later so I had to re check-in at DXB (with luggage), and at DXB I was reminded that I dropped back to Blue by the check-in staff. I sort of pleaded my case (when I got my boarding pass for the connecting flight which was on 2 Jul it still showed Silver with lounge access) and thankfully she allowed that extra luggage to go through.

When I arrived at my destination though, the system reviewed my flights in the past 12 months and I was automatically re-enroled & qualified for Silver instead of at the end of this month.

Lucky you. My daughter had the opposite experience at DXB last week. She had dropped to Blue since arriving in Dubai and although her booking still showed Silver EK insisted on sticking to the rules (fair enough if it they are consistent) and she had to unload some 6kg of stuff at the check in desk and put them in a cab back to my place.
