Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

It's worth noting here that a large number of these tickets were sold on flights during non-peak travel periods, so the actual loss to United will be less than the missed YQ revenue. I'm sure a few people paid less for tickets they were already going to buy, but many of these are extra seat fillers.
Only United could really say what the actual impact to their bottom line would be, and it might be that they decide to honor the tickets because it's actually better for them.

Important Question
Obviously this deal must be known to UA by now.
As such UA must have made a decision whether to honor or not.
Has anyone heard first hand ( Cancellation) or has anyone heard / seen second hand if UA intends to honor these tickets as issued.

I don't see WF coming out really ahead in any scenario. The best scenario is if their agreement with UA allowed them to keep YQ. Anything else is burning bridges over a small profit.
They had a profit of $22 million USD last quarter. Assuming 15,000 tickets sold at $5 a piece, $75,000 extra. OP should not expect a bonus.
If UA filed tariff wrong, WF burned bridges with UA. If Amadeus is the problem, WF burned bridges with their supplier.
The winner here, as always, are the banks.

And I didn't say it would be a Jeffy-sized bonus. Maybe a nice Christmas ham....

There has not been one definitive mention of either - someone having a ticket canceled (other than on flights containing a Jet Airways segment), or a statement by UA - in the entirety of this thread. There has, however, been a firsthand account of flights already flown on one of these bookings. Which reminds me, I should really stop allowing myself to be part of that tiny minority that has read every last post on here...

According to local media, WF has not intention of cancelling these bookings because they don't think they are a fault.

Speaking of changes, anyone else have thoughts on how to change meal selection? Surely I'm not the only one with this question.

There is no way UA can cancel directly even if they wanted to. WF sold the ticket. Only WF can cancel it. The most UA can do is recover behind the scene by issuing debit memos to WF for the YQ assuming WF is at fault.

As posted above you don't select seats on Checkmytrip. See the wiki for instructions of how to do this, you don't have to search through 160+ pages. The changes are made on the wideroe seats.
