I ended up cancelling the reservation and switch to a flight ex-JFK instead, with cheaper P+ fare and larger availability for business class upgrade.

Thanks for the new data. That is exactly my concern -- that if those seats are converted back to PP, I could be bumped to an undesirable seat in E- because E+ is already full (or all the good E+ seats have already been taken.)

I just checked the flight in early July that I have been following (777-200) and saw that those seats have also been converted to PP. In contrast, several flights have departed in the last two weeks with PP seats sold as E+.
