Further, travel companions will continue to get the benefit of GS status, so even if it were true, it would not apply in this case.
I am saying that because it is not officially posted anywhere and just because some do clear does not mean the benefit will actually continue. We all know how bad UA's IT is. Maybe they are just getting it setup. I am just bringing up one possibility. And as you say in your post "although it has been a subject of speculation". So until there is something official that specifically says GS sponsored upgrades for people not GS will continue to clear into PN there is the possibility they won't any longer. So I am not definitively saying that is why, I am (as you say) "speculating" as to a possible reason why.
Edit to add, And maybe if it is still a benefit that GS status carries down for sponsored upgrades, maybe something went awry when OP spilt the reservation for upgrades. Wouldn't be the first time something happened
