I've done this successfully with UA, but have had problems doing it with LH. I have had LH agents tell me that if I use LH miles to upgrade a flight, I cannot accrue the miles from that flight to another program. This should not be the case, but if the agent does not know how to do it, you are out of luck.
The best thing to do is use your UA number when you make your reservation so that you improve your chances for upgrades, etc. At check-in switch to your A3 number.
