I can confirm this was the case with my award flight right until T-24. Then at check-in I moved way up as Plat, my Silver spouse stayed about where she was and the 2 children dropped off the list. But they shouldn't have been on the list anyways since they are no status and it is an award ticket. No splitting or option to split occurred. This was my first time traveling with the whole family since xmas 2019.
