Well, I was late connecting from AMS to DEN (delayed flight), and when I handed my coach BP to the GA at EWR for the 738 flight to DEN, the system indicated a duplicate seat. I had been upgraded and my coach seat was given away, as was my FC seat because I wasn't there.
This was about 1.5 years ago; now I am always in the gate area 30 minutes before every flight if I haven't been upgraded, just in case.
