As you state UA is not liable under Reg. 261/04 for flights TO Europe. Sorry.
While I agree that EC261 most probably would be inapplicable in this situation, don't you guys find it ridiculous that EC261 doesn't take into account the fact that the three major alliances operate transatlantic JVs?
In effect, every flight to/from Europe is half European/half American on virtually any JV carrier. The European Comission may need to update its legislation...
