To answer my own question with experience yesterday, the lounge attendants do
not allow arriving passengers to access the lounge. Although I explained I would only be 5 minutes to use the lavatories, she allowed me access briefly since I showed my arriving First tickets; but she made this clear it was an exception not typically provided. It seems they really should allow arriving passengers in First and Biz, but clearly not their policy.
