Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but that's my knee jerk reaction to it.
I'll give a personal example on another airline. I live in Tampa, planned a weekend getaway to New Orleans. Right before the trip by grandmother died. The RT to New Orleans only cost about $100, so there was no value after change fees. I determined it was easier for me to fly to NOLA, spend a night there, then begin a trip on another airline MSY-OMA Then OMA-TPA with connections in both directions. I got mileage credit for TPA to MSY, but not the return, where I simply never showed up at the airport to take the flights. I wasn't trying to scam the airline, just how life happened to work out.
Now, in cases like this if US Airways normally gives mileage for segments flown, but told me I wouldn't get it and that they never give it, then I have an issue with that.
