Virgin Upper Class to LHR for $600!

Just made a reservation for two on Continental.com from IAD-LHR on the Virgin codeshare flight. Fare per person is $607, and in the itinerary page, it shows as "Class: Upper Class (U)." It says Upper Class for both the outbound and the inbound segments of the journey. When you select seats on the seatmap, it gives you economy class choices. I called CO and asked for clarification on the fare, and they said it was most definitely an economy class ticket. I said that's fine, because that's what I'm paying for, but they should be aware that the website is most definitely indicating that one is buying an Upper Class ticket. What do you all think of this? I personally would not attempt to manipulate the system and claim to CO that I thought it was an Upper Class ticket, but do you all think it would work? It's definitely silly that their system isn't working properly considering the potential revenue loss.
