I have also tried calling United but the agent can't see any space either. Thanks
TK very heavily uses married segments, and I think UA only sees inventory on a segment-by-segment basis. You can check yourself if you have an expertflyer membership - TK publishes award inventory to travel agencies as well.
Aeroplan and Lifemiles both use Amadeus as their backend, which handles these types of married segments properly.
