Just luck, I would guess. Maybe one of our UA employee friends can shed some light.
I flew the same flight(s) myself on November 26 (UA 837 SFO-NRT-BKK). Had different seat assignments on the two segments. The departure dates for each segment were different, of course! But I received only 7,924 miles. (I knew about this in advance and it doesn't hurt my plans to make 1K using the Double EQM offer, so I didn't bother to try to do a "split" to get the 87 extra flight miles in each direction.)

edited to add: I'm not 100% sure of this, but it sounds familiar that "reboarding pass" written across the top of the BP. Both BPs were issued at SFO. Next chance I get, I'll look on the BP stub to see if anything appears there.
