I had a similar situation previously. I have OPT but needs STEM extension to continue to work (h1b lottery losers), meanwhile, I need to submit 140 to keep my PERM valid. My lawyer said there is a TINY chance that my OPT extension might be rejected due to 140 submission and I will lose status. I cannot have that risk so I gave up my PERM. The problem for you is I-765, you need to specify your last EAD, which is your 485 EAD. With that information, you probably won't be approved for OPT EAD. But anyway, the worst case is you got denied, lose $400 bucks and that' s it?
