This might be true if your upgrade is somehow confirmed when the SWU isn't coded correctly, but I wouldn't want to count on this if I'm hoping that an upgrade will clear.

If the OP does nothing, there's a chance that OP will get a "free" upgrade without using miles or a SWU, possibly earlier or with higher priority than is warranted. However, if the OP wants the upgrade, IMO it would be wiser to have the problem fixed. It's all a matter of what is more important to the OP and how risk averse the OP is with respect to losing the upgrade or losing some miles.
