When search I see many flights that takeoff within 3 hours that are showing upgrade space online and when I go to the flight there is a waitlist of people waiting and it still shows 2 first class seats available.
What you are describing has been patched but they created another bug when doing so. None of this stuff should be discussed on a public board though.
