Keep an eye on it and definitely speak up if you notice that it hasn't been properly credited after a week or two.
Ditto on this. Thanks to Flyertalk I found this out and received 100% mileage bonus after making gold on my SYD to LAX leg. I submitted a mileage request a few weeks afterwards and it was quickly taken care of.
