I'm thinking of asking the LH lounge agents whether there's any way to process something like this and am wondering whether others have had success (or been laughed at, etc...)

Thanks!
It won't be possible at the airport. LH agents have no way to access miles in your UA account which you would need to use for a *A upgrade. You're SOL I'm afraid unless you can convince UA to do it over the phone..they won't be able to help you with that at the airport.
