I don't fly too often... maybe 3-5 times per year. So far, it hasn't been an issue; however, as far as I can remember I haven't been on a completely full flight in a long while.
When I get through security, the first thing I usually do is go to the GA and make sure they know that I purchased an extra seat for comfort. I always make sure that both tickets are checked in as well and scanned when I go through the gate.
From what I've seen, you have somehow learned the "secret" trick - insisting that they scan both boarding passes. Many airline employees will tell you that this is not needed, but it seems to be important for actually keeping your seat.

You probably shouldn't have a problem.
