Then of course, if the Y pax isn't so smart, they would return to the back and tell everyone the modified story of J champagne...
I think you might be right about the course of the events. The Y pax was probably told to stay in his seat during take-off and landing. If this was the case, then the purser allowed a space-available-upgrade on-board, and to my second hand knowledge, this can get the purser fired, if found out.
