Just for the record, the first call the crew made after the smoke started led with a rushed "Acey 5912." When DEN asked again who made the call was when they responded simply "5912." That wasn't their full callsign, of course, but it also didn't sound much like "United 12," whereas the initial adrenaline-spiked call made into the mic of an O2 mask could conceivably sound a bit like "This is United 12."
The controller shouldn't be fired or anything, but he certainly didn't have much basis to make the logical leap to a fake call.
