Isn't the award inventory loaded into the system only for the next 330 days? The ticket would be valid for one year but in reality wouldn't it really only be valid for 11 months (330 days)? Does point #2 get around this in that you can book your award for 330 days with a dummy return date, then change the return date for free once inventory opens up for a later date?
