I had something similar happen to me a few days ago on last-minute booking. I never received the receipt email, so looked like wasn't ticketed. But then on ua.com it finally looked ticketed, let me apply RPU, and check in. Even without receipt on website, so I called and agent couldn't see it either. She called some help line and was told the receipts were very backed up and slowly going out. I never got the "official" receipt email but next morning it was online and I did manage to email it to myself.
Other times when it hadn't ticketed within 45 minutes, I called. In those cases always been some fare processing glitch and ticket had no intention of ticketing without agent intervention.
