I *think* the flight attendants treat the seats as part of the Business Class cabin, so pax who are assigned to them on International segments where they're not needed will get the C-cabin treatment -- drinks, an amenity kit, International Business Class meal service. This is my understanding, but having never actually been in one of these seats, I could be flat out wrong.
You're partially right...

Domestically, UA will only offer the crew rest seats for assignment if the flight is full. (Unless something has changed in the last year...I was traveling with 3 coworkers--2 of us got upgraded, the other, I tried to get into one of the crew rest seats, but since the flight wasn't nearly full, it didn't work). But you are correct that at least domestically, they get the full J-class treatment--meal, drinks, etc. Couldn't tell you about the amenity kit on intl flights...But I actually think that point is moot.

But doesn't really matter these days anyway, as they don't schedule 3-cabin planes on domestic routes anymore.
