I don't have hard facts to quote, but this is based on my experience and observations over the years.
Of course if Y/PE are really oversold so much, it's of course possible that DMs in Y may sit in J (double opup), but I think it's rather unlikely that would happen before all status pax in PE were upgraded first.
That's my experience too. Was on a very heavy Y, light premium route (CEB-HKG). Op-Up at gate to PE as OWE. Both J and PE flew out very full, presumably with op-up.
