However, she offered to contact MH BKK check-in on my behalf to see what could be done in my situation (no visa for DEL). She emailed me back three days later with a detailed response from MH BKK Airport confirming that baggage interline is possible and they will do it as a courtesy as long as I allow enough connection time to avoid mishandling in DEL (2 hours +). To conclude, she emphasized that this is a "favor" on MH BKK's behalf and not to expect same treatment the other way around (UA to MH) or if journey starts from another station.
So, it is possible on a case-by-case basis so do contact them in advance and make prior arrangement.
Good for you BUT I would you rather not advertise the fact to email them to request anything that is beyond the norm because YOU refused to get yourself an Indian visa which is the proper thing to do. It will set a bad precedent to those who try and we don't want to inundate MH offices.
