The issue isn't really that you won't get the status miles, it's more that they will credit them as though you were blue and would then wiped them out because you became Gold.
When you move up from one tier to another your status miles are reset (with excess miles carried). In the case of your status match, you are essentially moving up the tier structure after you would have earned those status miles.
