So they gave me both boarding passes in BKK but my wife only to NRT. They told her she'd have to check in again in NRT.

I had the opportunity recently flying NH out of BKK to ask NH ground staff about green cards and difficulty of obtaining UA BPs for onward travel to the US.
This is true. According to them, when UA exited the BKK market and closed down operations, they also blocked NH from issuing BPs that require a doc check (green cards, visas etc). Previously, NH was able to issue such UA BPs while performing doc check in BKK. So, this appears to be at UA's doing.
