They also are quite anal about this at EWR.
The fact that you are ticketed as UA and on a UA code-share might make them amend their own baggage rules to bring them in line with the UA allowances...

He said that made my weight allowance based on UA policy and hence ok. I was surprised as the tix was LH issued with only one final leg being UA. Anyways, it worked out fine for me.
No they wouldn't - same as flying Y on UA from IAD - having a LH flight number won't get you a free meal
In theory this should not have happened - so you were lucky
