From @United on Twitter:
We’re looking at domestic flying for the 787 as we learn more about certification & modification timelines. DEN-NRT is planned for June.

anyone who votes at the FAA to allow it to go ETOPs from the get-go should be forced to fly on the flight,as should the head honchos of Boeing and UA
why Oh why do I think if that was the case approval may be granted only for over land flights till enough flights and other tests have been performed

You left out the words "plans to" and "FAA... must sign off"

The June 10 date for DEN-NRT has been in the GDS for 10 days now; it isn't particularly new news. And, while I have a seat reserved on the flight, I'm not holding my breath that it actually happens.
