Miles don’t seem to be missing either (though I’m not exactly where I should search for this).
This is known to happen in case of a reschedule or other change to the original itinerary -- some sort of miscoding of the ticket. Sometimes UA will catch the error and corrected it, sometimes you might get a freebie -- very rare, but not unknown.

Unlikely, upgrade list would be cleared first
