As for whether or not there is any more leniency for F/J pax, I would check out this thread to see if there are any experiences posted there:

Thank you for pointing me to that thread.
I guess one of my concerns is that if it does get gate checked and they check it all the way through to MXP, I'm somewhat concerned that luggage checked by hand at the gate is more likely to get lost and not make the connecting flight to MXP.
