Considering that getting to a GPU fare for US metal was about $2-300 per leg- and then you play the lottery, this is more expensive, double the PQM and getting near the price of buying PQM.
I would not rely on what you're seeing. Since it makes no sense, it's likely not true. It's probably confused; an A fare on an LH code would be first class. An A fare on a UA code is going to map to E on LH, which will earn at 150%.

Oddly, the PE fare classes don't seem to have been added to the UA earnings chart.
