A letter to Diamond Club with documentation got things fixed promptly, but this is something others might want to watch out for.
The thing here is that H class on UA does not mean it will be H class on LX. More than likely it was on a lower booking class, eg V which would probably be why you only earned 0.5 miles. You get the miles earned on the operating carrier... not the carrier which you booked your flight on. Next time check with LX as to what booking class you are booked in. The check in agent may tell you.
