We’ve reviewed the error that occurred yesterday and decided that, based on these specific circumstances, we will honor the tickets.

Go into your limbo rez, Edit Passenger Details.
Change the FFinfo to another *A carrier. Save.
Wait 5 minutes.
Go back in and change the FF info back to UA. Save.
You should get your email confirmation of ticketing within 10 minutes.
Worked for me on both of my limbo tickets.
DO NOT CALL!

Ok UA is aware and has confirmed honoring, you can safely call now. However, if anything similar happens again:

DO NOT CALL!

Round trip IAH-SFO on UA is showing $5
I tried searching for a round trip airfare for IAH-SFO and it is showing $5 for Sept. 23 - 27 as well as for Oct. 6 - 11. Probably a mistake, but who knows...
