(Separately, my boarding pass showed the EI flight number. So, despite being 1K on United, I was rejected from both the LH lounge and, as I anticipated, the EI lounge at Heathrow. The United Club was too far a hike.)
As you noted, EI is not *A member, you will not gain access to LH or UA or any of the *A lounges in T2.

The footnote says:
Premier qualifying credit is not earned on Aer Lingus, Aeromar, Boutique Air, Cape Air, Hawaiian Airlines, Vistara or Silver Airways.
