and why do you think this will happen? Anything to based the question on?

all evidence suggest UA handles this as separate segments -- besides the 2 BPs, and the accumulated mileage, there is another thing to consider is prior to day of travel, direct flights require both segments to clear for upgrades but day of travel either segment can clear separately. So day of travel the system see a direct flight as two separate segments.
