Not 100% sure but like you I bet UA knows and would not issue a ticket if not allowed.

Having lived on Saipan (SPN) and followed the Asiana imbroglio closely, I can assure you that if one leg of a GUM/SPN trip to the mainland U.S. via ICN/NRT, etc. was on a U.S. carrier, that would completely cure any cabotage issue.

There is a comprehensive FlyerTalk thread in this UA subforum on cabotage.
