Let me add my experience which is quite different. I had a number of awards in mixed classes and every time we were only allowed the weight limit of the first sector no matter whether all your other sectors were in a higher booking class. This has always worked to our disadvantage and I had many phone calls with BMI and the airline (in our case NZ). We were never allowed to take any more bags with us than our first flight allowed us.
The problem was that the first flight was in Y and then we had a C and later even a flight in F. However, we were only allowed 20kg per person plus the *G extra 20kg.
So, if there is a rule somewhere I'd like to know about this because I'm going to run into the same problem again soon.
