I received a canned response from United and I'm gearing up for small claims court and potentially a class action.
I really doubt a suit would get much traction. United has enough wiggle room in the Mileage Plus T&Cs that even most domestic paid F tickets could earn no bonus credit.
Certain premium cabin flight segments may earn different award miles and Premier qualifying credits than those defined for your ticketed fare class in the chart above (your fare class for each flight segment is displayed during booking and when viewing a ticketed itinerary on united.com). In these cases, earning is based on the first letter of the fare basis code, which may correspond to an economy cabin fare class including Y, B, M, H, Q, U, V, W, S, T, L, K, G, or N. You can determine your fare basis code when booking a reservation on united.com by selecting the Fare Rules and Restrictions link on the itinerary review page prior to purchase.

Will I earn additional miles for a premium cabin seating offer?
No. Mileage accrual and Premier qualification credits will be based on the original purchased fare.
