The seat does stick, but the itinerary still shows V-class. As said I have all segments shown in the itinerary twice when I select seats, however only once in the itinerary itself...I also still see my original Eco-seat.
BTW the "schedule change" was probably the TA's way for handling the upgrade notification they received from UA. In general when you use a TA the notices go to them and it is the TA's responsibility to notify you. That's the way communications are handled when you use a TA unless the TA tells UA otherwise.
May be the case, I got something similar from Expedia once when my upgrade cleared, but then it actually showed the difference. May be a problem with the TA, though, as I got a pretty meaningless eMail from them...
