If the credit is important, you call LH after the ticket is booked to see what it has booked into; if you don't like it, you have 24 hours from purchase to cancel.
This has been discussed here many times. It's one of the risks of booking codeshares.
Should UA do a better job of disclosure? Yes. But K is the absolute cheapest fare LH sells, and they have decided they're not going to give any mileage credit for it. You can argue until you're blue in the face. It's UA's program, they make the rules.
