Flex PQMs/Presidential Plus

I know we had the hypothetical "what if" discussion a while back, but I'm wondering if anyone has any real world experience with what happens if you use Flex PQMs before you hit 75K, and then go over that threshold with actual BIS miles.

I'm less than 2K away from Gold, and have 4K flex PQMs sitting there. I'm thinking about using the flex miles to get me above 50K so I can be Gold for my upcoming flight (in order to bump me up a rung on the CPU list). Given my current travel plans, I'll "naturally" hit Platinum in the fall, and 1K some time in December.

I'm wondering, now that we're a few months into the changes, if anyone knows for sure whether UA will force me to "repeat" those 2K miles once I hit Platinum on my way to 1K, or if those 2K miles will remain credited even after I hit that threshold.
