EF seems to be returning the fare class availability of those flights based on Point of Sale in that location (e.g. Australia, HK, Singapore), despite having US POS selected in the search criteria. (I compared a few flights on EF with what UA was showing on a one-way Asia/Australia-US and then it matched each time)

It does this no matter if I have US POS selected while searching as an ex-US RT, or as an HKG/SIN/SYD/TPE-SFO one-way.
If you compare availability for a return flight of an RT journey then the issie is more likely point of origin rather than point of sale. No idea how advanced is UA in discriminating by POI.
