Given that it isn't an elite heavy route and there still are multiple U seats available <72 hours out, I'm hoping I do get the upgrade.

I'll try to call or at least jot off a note to AS about this -- if this sort of fare setup is ever common, I can't imagine I will be the only one tripped up by it.
I wouldn't complain too much. Everyone else will be booking the M fare. You'll be the only one "in the know" and thus able to snag the higher upgrade priority that comes with the B fare. Just make sure to always check when purchasing tickets...
