I have been trying to figure out how I got .5 of an EQS too.
The extra .5 is for high-yield fares, which earn 150% on EQM/EQS. F, A, P, C, D, Z, Y, and B, typically.
Even if you're not booking those, you can end up in full-Y and get the bonus due to rebooking during irrops. This is a "bonus" / pleasant surprise and not a guaranteed benefit, mind you, so if you don't get full Y on an irrop flight, don't go complaining to UA for it!
