Not sure what details matter, but basically because of the various issues at AMS, United reduced its flights, and rebooked me from AMS-IAD to AMS-IAH-IAD. They agreed that was a bit silly and changed our return to BRU-IAD, which, while requiring us to modify our plans a bit, was preferable to a 16 hour return flight. No repricing involved and no idea how they came up with the PQP they did unless somehow the BRU flight was a lot cheaper . . . but it seems that they reduced both the outbound and the return. Anyway, it's fixed.
Just discussing for academic purposes, I would guess that when rebooked to AMS-IAH-IAD, ticket got reissued with more segments obviously. Then when rebooked to BRU-IAD instead, the PQP calculator got confused by the extra coupon and did not appropriately assign PQP. It is kind of a classic problem to receive too few PQD/PQP when number of segments is reduced.
