But when I go in to add her passport details it tells me that the name on the account doesn't match her Mileage Plus number -- even though their system is what generated the new info. So I can view her details, but if I hit save even without changing anything it errors out and tells me name and FF # don't match... But if I cancel out, it maintains the name plus FF # just fine.

Near as I can tell, for some reason, sometimes she shows up as first name+middle initial as her first name, other times just as first name, depending on the UA system and position of the moon.

I was able to enter her passport and trusted traveler info on our reservation, but I can't get the passport to save in the travel companions section.
After many calls to UA MileagePlus and tech support and unable to get it resolved I PM'd UAInsider and they had the problem fixed in about 2 days. No idea what they had done, but wife is a traveler in my profile and her FF number is there. Granted I have not tried to edit it and have not bought a ticket for her since it was fixed to 100% verify all is good, but on the surface it looks like it was fixed.
