It's a domestic ticket, so the price of a roundtrip is usually half that of a one-way, so I am not sure why they would want to "refare" this ticket if you use only the outbound.
I don't know why you would have a problem with calling, as people's plans change all the time. Maybe someone else will be able to tell you if you will.
My problem with calling is that I don't want to be "discovered" that I have another return ticket already purchased on UA and thus draw the attention of revenue management.
I think I will call to see about the residual value of that leg, but only after I've completed my return tomorrow morning.
