Wayward segment causing upgrade problem?

Hi all,

A quick question about my NRT-IAD flight (UA804) tomorrow, 12/21. We booked the following itinerary originally:

12/12 IAD-NRT-BKK
12/17 BKK-NRT
12/21 NRT-IAD

I was waitlisted with sponsored SWUs from booking, until about 4 days out from 12/12, when I cleared into NC all the way through to BKK. Then, when we got to the airport in BKK on the 17th were were offered an UFC from Y to NC for $315, which we accepted.

Now, in my itineraries, I see the original flights, plus an additional segment at the bottom showing the confirmed upgrade from BKK-NRT on the 17th. I know people have mentioned these wayward segments in upgrade situations before, and that you can call and have them removed from your itinerary. I really don't care about the aesthetics, but I was wondering if the newly appeared segment could have any effect on my upgrade for tomorrow.

I'm still showing as waitlisted with my sponsored SWU, just a bit over 24 hours out, and the flight shows C9 D9 Z9. Has anyone had a problem with a segment appearing at the end of their itinerary, especially like this where the new segment has a date prior to the waitlisted segment? Does the bomb think that my itinerary is completed (for upgrading purposes) or something because of this added segment? Or should I just ignore it, and keep hoping to clear between now and tomorrow?

Thanks!
