Specifically, "Change Flights" button returns only S-class fares, while the actual lowest available is L-class. Is this a known bug? (Searching this excellent thread provided no answer.)

Also, is the 24-hour courtesy cancellation window granted on any flights i end up booking via the "Change Flights" button?
When you say the "actual lowest available," you mean, if you were to book that same itinerary as a new ticket? If that's the case, just call UA -- the online change flights tool has some serious issues.

There is no 24-hour grace period on changes.
