Utter nonsense.
LX is the only airline in the world I'm aware of which plays these petty little games.

My boarding pass only has the LX41 flight number, not the UA one, although I did buy it on United's website so the ticket starts with 016.
They're just making it up as they go along . . . lounge dragons who delight in refusing access.
