I'm not sure. I'd think they'd try charge it but that you'd have a somewhat good argument for it to be waived. The issue is thay it's basically two transactions:

- change date then upgrade subject to the right J fare bucket being available
- upgrade then change date subject to the exact same fare being available

They can do it all as one but it would probably be seen as two actions and one of those attracts a fee.
