It turns out that from the MP activity page, it's formatted in such a way that you can paste directly into Excel. Right now, it's showing all my activity since March, and the total milage from that (with bonuses) sums up exactly to the extra miles I see on my account. I'm guessing this is a glitch, and the extra miles will disappear eventually.

Same for me. I think it's simply a computer glitch triggered by the new year. It seems that my activity all the way back from May is included in the month of December and hence counted twice. The fact that the summary and "all activity" show different numbers is a pretty strong indicator that something's wrong.... I didn't look at the numbers in detail, but from what I can tell even my summary number is incorrect (about 10k more than it should be). Unless it's some form of year end bonus for becoming Gold?
Inb4 the numbers are corrected and everyone here starts complaining how United has stolen miles from you and requires them to be reinstated

Mine was normal this morning, but when my flight from 12/31 posted, it jumped by about 12k miles more than I should have (on the welcome screen). Strange.
Since 12/3 it shows: Airline Activity 43,359
Actual activity: 10,261
It's almost like they retroactively made me platinum from the beginning of the year. What's stranger is that when I click "view activity" it shows a balance that is 20k higher than it shows on the welcome screen. Hmm...

Yes, this is what I'm seeing as well. It's as if they made me Gold from the beginning of the year. On the mobile site, I even see all my flights being removed (negative balance shown) then added back. Flights less than 500 miles are being removed then I get 500 miles added back instead. Either a very strange bug, or an end of year bonus that I didn't know existed. Has anything like this happened previous years?

Things looking normal now... sort of
OK, they finally posted the last of my 2012 flights, but there is nothing, anywhere, to indicate that I passed the 75k threshold and have Plat status for 2013. At least not that I can find. Still no RPUs posted to my account.
Wouldn't RPUs be the definitive indication that UA thinks I'm a Plat for 2013?

if something was happening, not seeing a problem now with the activity section of the website.
