However, the website errors out when I attempt to complete the purchase.

Is there any rule requiring United to honor the advertised 'fare'?..
The short answer is No -- as long as the purchase does not complete.

Purchasing at the edge of schedule availability can be problematic -- is there a partner segment involved?
