As I mentioned earlier, when I have gone to the DL web trying to simply purchase D1 there are no D1 seats available to reserve.
I am just back from the end of a conference and have not checked for maybe 4 hours.

BTW, the first agent saw maybe one or two alternative flights where a GUC would get D1 but PS was sold out.
So you are already booked on flight? This is just DL systems not making any online seat upgrade options available (FCM offers). It's not that unusual of a situation and happens pretty frequently on international routes (particularly with PS seats for some reason). It doesn't have anything to do with being able to process a GUC. If an agent doesn't actually clear you into D1 with GUC, I doubt they know what would happen as far as seat assignments. My guess is that once they actually clear you, you'll be able to select a seat. Another case where you should be suspect of advice from an agent.
