Rumors are floating around that United is experiencing technical issues with the sole Boeing 787 Dreamliner currently in its possession. And delivery of United’s second 787 may be slipping.
 
Flyertalk member “colpuck” posted:
 

I heard a rumor that the 787 is having unspecified ‘problems’ and that EIS on (the) 4th is optimistic. Also in that vein, Boeing’s delivery of 787 #2 is slipping.
 
Colpuck later posts:
 

I heard a little more. If there’s going to be a delay, it will be announced next week.

My brother flew on the dreamliner in first. He went standby in DFW and the agent upgraded him for free to first because "all the other standby people were being very pushy and he just sat quietly waiting" :)

Occasionally an int'l is swapped in, and there are a few domestic routes that have unadvertised lie flat for logistic reasons (MCO-ORD IIRC)

The 762 has "30 Angled Lie-Flat shell seats"
Or maybe a one-time repositioning/going into maintenance flight?

Could it be that he was travelling on your other brother's United MP 1K status?
