If so, Altea would have automatically merged the return flights in the checkin system (UL & QF res pnrs remain totally independent of each other). Therefore when you checked in with QF on the way 'home' to CMB they would automatically see the oncarriage flights on UL. When flights are merged in the checkin system it gives the appearance of all flights being the same booking hence bags being tagged to the final destination and both the QF & UL boarding passes issued.
Nailed it. And here I was thinking I was special Appreciate the explanation.

Separate booking AUH-CMB-AUH connecting to the QF booking (Codeshare with UL on to HKG etc). The check-in desk at AUH were happy to check it through onto the QF booking, so that's when the magic would have happened.
