You might prefer that the systems can find the awards without you breaking it up but there is nothing which says they must do so. And, as you've discovered, depending on the system they do not always.

(I'm a bit fuzzy on the different types of awards with UA so that's why I wonder) Or is there going to be more award space available to members of it's own program?
Generally speaking if you can find award space via one partner then the other partners should have it as well. For travel on "home" metal a program may have increased availability.
