I'm pretty sure you will.
I don't think there's been any reports on here of auto upgrade ever working, and there has definitely been reports of it not working. Also, if you want to get the mileage advantage of redeeming for two legs, this has always had to be done by phone. It's reported above that people have had no problem getting the first leg refunded and the combined upgrade processed, but I've also read (older) reports that this method has failed so make sure whoever you speak to commits to it before you pull the trigger. HUACA may be required.
