I hoped an agent would come back to coach and give me a new BP, but it never happened.

Now I'm in LA and my account shows that I was in first for the flight. Not so much!

Was I robbed of an upgrade?

It is possible that you were upgraded into a seat that opened up because someone in F was on a late connection, then that person ended up making the connection and the GA allowed them to have the seat. You should follow up with CO Insider to be sure, although he is on vacation until next week.
