Ineligible for Medallion upgrades when using Pay With Miles?

I've learned, the hard way, that FT knows more about Delta than Delta does, so rather than relying on Delta, I'm going to ask here first.

Are Medallions with a Delta AMEX card who Pay with Miles... ineligible for complimentary upgrades for the itinerary they PWM'd?

I tried asking Delta, but quickly gave up when the 4th Delta agent I spoke with today said no MQMs with PWMs. No way was I going to trust her with the Medallion upgrade question.

Here is the language on the booking page that motivated my question:
