I would take a chance but recognise some risk, however there may be better informed posters who have a surer strategy. I wouldn't care as I could use either CX or SQ miles for something, but it sounds as if the OP would be transferring for one specific purpose, in which case orphaned miles would seem like more of an annoyance.
