This is not the case anymore.
Although I don't know officially it was a practice or at the discretion of the airport supervisors, there was one time I was upgraded as an 1K (in the PMUA era and before GS) on a HKG-ORD flight. when there were 60+ 1Ks on the list. I asked the 1K check-in agent why I was upgraded over other 1Ks, she told me I have been in the M+ program longer than other 1Ks.

She could just blew off with that response, but I thought I shared my experience here.
It is definitely not a practice now.
