If the original license is "GPL 2 or higher" I guess there are no
problem switching to GPL v3. But does that give the right to change the
license to GPL 3 or higher? I do not think so.

In general, I think it is wise to option to upgrade the license version
by using the formulation "...or later (at your option)" to make the
licensing situation clear. That means the user can choose license.
Otherwise, one does not know which license is actually used.
