There are a couple threads on this in the UA forum

So just because business class availability shows, this plane will NOT have business class.
Correct, and I have seen instances in the last 24 hours where the NC and NF space did not match on just such a flight. I specifically saw an instance where a 2 class plane had positive NC space but no NF space... It was interesting since I was looking to upgrade and wondered what that call would be like with the ICC
