For example, CO9 and NW7009 are codeshares, upgrade is available on CO9, but not on NW7009; you can only upgrade if you hold coach ticket on CO9, not if you are on NW7009, even though they are actually the same flight.
(I think NW7009 should be 6009.)

Has there been a change in policy?

I did upgrade on CO9/8 and the ticket I bought was NW6009/8. This was in January. NW dips into CO's upgrade inventory and they reissue NW6009 ticket as a CO business first ticket.

I also did the same in June last year, buying NW tickets and upgraded on these CO flights. But at that time, they still could upgrade as NW6008/6009.

So it's no longer available? Oh, well, another reason not to buy NW tickets for me.
