The A segment is a waitlisted segment, while the autoupgrade system takes an existing segment and changes it to X, and they theoretically could both clear at about the same time.
Based on the fact that I can no longer even see the option to do an X upgrade on the AA.com site, I do think it's possible there is some software updates now that enforce this.
