Most likely, the controller would make the upwind guy extend his
upwind, then have him follow me.

And what happens if the controllers attention is aimed somewhere
else for a moment or he just plan screws up? It is the pilots
responsibility to see and avoid traffic. I'd do exactly what Andrew
suggested.

Class D controllers are not responsible for in-air separation,
they're responsible for runway separation. If you expect them to
sort it out for you, you're basically taunting Darwin.
