I'm not aware of any other carriers that UA is restricting code share earnings on. Hopefully this rule does not spread.

If you review the earning page for the carrier you are flying you can see what restrictions apply.

Unfortunately, this has little to do with UA's rules. The operating carrier (SAA in this case) has final say on whether or not miles are awarded... The exceptions you linked to are set by CA and TK and not UA. Miles sent to MP accounts by legit *A members/partners should deposit without UA asking questions.
