When I called the hotline, they said they were unable to assign seats in either class due to the pending upgrade.
The flight in question had, and still has, I class available but apparently that is not good enough for PPB upgrades. Didn't check for P, especially since P availability depends on the full O&D but PPB looks at each flight segment individually for upgrades. So no, my ZRH-FRA feeder would not be upgraded anyways.
