I tried to use paper certs twice last year in a similar situation. First leg of trip was CDG - FRA, 2nd leg was to FRA to US and I wanted to use the converted SWU on the trans-Atlantic flight.
On the first trip, I went to the airport the day before travel and a very nice LH agent just confirmed me directly in Biz class. It was brilliant, since it was my first experience in C on a A380.
One the second trip, I tried the same thing. No dice. Not only did I not get confirmed in C, the LH agent would not even put me on the grading list. By the time I arrived at FRA the next day, the agents there said there were too many people on the grading list and would not put me on it.
It's dangerous to draw conclusions from two data points, but I'd say (1) it's possible but that (2) it depends on the personality of the agent.
