If the DidItClear website is going to be effective, it needs more members and trip upgrade data!
Please visit https://www.diditclear.com/ and include your trip experience with CPU's, RPU's, GPU's and any other means of upgrading available on United.
The better the data, the better the search results and experiential history.

yes it does. GS GPU will clear into PN and 1K GPU will clear into R, irrespective of the status of the traveler.

Sorry I'm confused, are they misinformed or was I misunderstanding it? Internationl flight, has open PN space, will GPU upgrade clear immediately if GS sponsors it?

Perhaps I was unclear: I had 2 RPUs expiring 1/2016, used two in 2015, reached Plat for two more RPUs (actually 1K, but those RPUs/GPUs haven't hit yet), now I have two RPUs, one expiring this month, and another next year. I would have assumed that redeeming RPU would use the oldest (i.e., closest to expiring) before one of the new ones.

So what gives?
As per comments and responses above pax were supposed to clear instantly, since there's sufficient pn space for both passengers on the outbound, GPU was applied however and no clearance, just added to waitlist.
Here's current fare inventory.
Los Angeles, CA, US (LAX) to Melbourne, VIC, AU (MEL - Tullamarine)
UA 98 | Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Depart LAX: Tue, Jan 19
Arrive MEL: Thu, Jan 21
Red-eye flight
Available fare classes:J9JN9C9D9Z9ZN9P9PN3R0RN0IN0I0Y9YN9B9M9E9U9 H9HN9Q9V9W6S4T0L0K0G0N0XN0X0
Any insight or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

So how did you present your case? What's a valid, convincing chip? The GS who sponsored me claimed to have called and was told PN only clears instantly for domestic...
And were you able to push through the upgrade even when applied to a non (UA) premier friend?

My situations were different, it was domestic and would clear the waitlist on the sweep but put the reservation into the !!Call united... state so I would have to call to complete the clearing. Happens to me about 80+% of the time.
