Just as an (odd) datapoint.

Flying on a KFREE fare (earns no EQMs, EQSs or RDMs) I got a BF UG on a flight that was then delayed, causing me to miss a connection (for which I suppose I could have tried for another BF UG). The automatic reaccommodation gave me an UG on my new connecting flight; I went to the WC and asked if I could possibly squeeze onto an earlier flight to a city about 75 miles away (I was visiting family near that city, but originally had to book to the further airport due to fare class availability), and got put into F on that flight... which posted as R/R, stayed as R/R, and yielded EQMs and RDMs (with PE bonus).

If I ever make double platinum like RC, it will doubtless be due in large part to the sheer degree of confusion "the system" encounters from trying to deal with my silliness!
