Sounds like non-sense to me.

Surely its possible to upgrade only one (or more) sectors?! In fact Asiamiles website lets me successfully check the miles required for any possible sector combination. I can even mark them for upgrade and they show as waitlisted, but the last step always gives an error.

All sectors are on booking code R

mmmh...>?!
Doesn't sound right to me. Maybe you got an inexperienced agent?

Oct. last year, I was able to get one SHA-HKG sector upgraded to U out of my TPE-(CX-Q)-x/HKG-(KA-M)-SHA-(KA-M)-x/HKG-(CX-Q)-BKK-(CX-Q)-x/HKG-(CX-Q)-TPE ticket (all sectors in one ticket). A couple of months ago, I was also able to upgrade HKG-JFK to T out of my TPE-(CX-V)-x/HKG-(CX-V)-JFK-(AA-V)-SFO-(AA-V)-JFK//EWR-(CX-V)-x/HKG-(KA-V)-TPE ticket. You can certainly just upgrade part of the ticket using miles.
