Flights in question would be 006, DL metal, DL marketed; ATL<>LHR.
I think this might be the most recent thread:

GUC and cancellation - is it lost?

it may depend on whether the ticket has been reissued and the cert closed. And even then it may remain attached to the PNR so that if you apply the residual funds from that PNR the resulting itinerary can be upgraded?

I also vaguely recall that even if it clears at booking they may avoid reissuing the ticket right away specifically to wait out the RFC period.
