This came up in another thread recently:

Tickets for flights operated by a Star Alliance™ or MileagePlus partner airline that aren’t issued by United (ticket numbers that don’t start with “016”) will still earn award miles based on distance flown and the purchased fare class.
So in order to earn the actual flight miles, you'll have to book direct with the partner airline and credit mileage to UA instead according to UA's mileage accrual chart with partner airlines.

This concerns the reverse situation of an UA FFP member trying to earn miles on OZ. Nevertheless, it would only seem logical for me that the UA miles should post to OZ as usual. I haven't seen any changes to the booking table either.
In short, the change at UA shouldn't affect your miles credited to OZ.
