The Star Alliance Lounge finder (though hardly perfect) does suggest that there is no access to the Swiss Club, but there is for the LH club.
Sorry, but my wording was 100% correct. The normal *A rules require that *Gs be permitted lounge access if they are departing on a *A flight. *A "allows" UA and US to except themselves from this rule by barring UA and US frequent flyers from accessing their lounges on purely domestic itineraries.

And yes, I agree you are confused.
