Mostly true, but not completely so. UA MP members flying LH TATL get the full bonus miles as if it were UA metal. Not sure about all the other permutations since there are so many *A members now.

There are no absolutes, but in general OW treats codeshares more generously than *A.

FWIW, the oneworld site claims the RTW *ONE* as the alliance's flagship fare:

"...the alliance's flagship round-the-world oneworld Explorer fare..."

- http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=18907
"Its flagship alliance fare is oneworld Explorer..."

It might be the alliance's flagship product, but it still does not make up a large proportion of fares sold. stimpy's statements above still very much hold water.
