Hmm, I'm not sure why this wasn't showing up on mobile.united.com earlier? This works fine for me:

(For anyone reading along, this is not scary or particularly hard to do -- you can just, like, look up the 21 March version of this flight then click into the address bar and edit the link that is there.)
Looks like your flight is currently scheduled to be operated by "Aircraft: Boeing 737-800W | #3259", and to run from 1117-1359 on 21 March ORD-IAH. The seat map does look pretty full (completely full in F, some unassigned seats in Y), and F and Y are both booked at least to capacity ("United First® : Full", "United Economy® : Full"). Nine people have been upgraded in advance in a way that makes them show up on the upgrade list.

I dunno how this actually works, but I've certainly seen some "really full" flights not show up in availability searches -- like, they don't even show up in the search results that normally show "yes, there are four flights today and three of them are all zeroes". I've seen this happen for extremely full flights on united.com and also in the expertflyer.com "availability display" (even limited to nonstop options on a single carrier).
