AC ticketing not charging UK APD after stopover
I just booked a ticket DUB-LHR(stop)-...-YVR / YVR-...-ARN with Air Canada...
...details deleted per suggestions...
... is it possible that the "back end" computers are now refusing to issue my ticket?

I feel strongly about paying my taxes too. But, this isn't "your" tax, it's AC's tax and if AC fails to collect it, AC still has to pay it.
HMG will get its due and AC may or may not go under over this.

The following passengers traveling to/through the UK aren’t liable to pay the UK APD:
Those arriving in the UK
Those connecting in the UK for less than 24 hours
The following passengers are liable to pay the UK APD:
Those connecting in the UK for more than 24 hours
Those originating travel in the UK (in other words, if you fly from New York to London and then three days later from London to New York you’d be liable to pay the APD, given that you’re originating in the UK that day)
This charge is included in the ticket cost. The amount payable is dependent upon the following:
The class of service you’re flying in — there’s one charge for economy, and then one charge for premium cabins (which includes first class, business class, and premium economy)
The distance between London and the capital city of your final destination on the ticket (in other words, if you’re flying from London to Los Angeles to Honolulu, you’d pay the APD based on the distance between London and Washington DC) — it’s not based on how far away your immediate destination is (in other words, you wouldn’t pay less of an APD flying from London to Frankfurt to Los Angeles than you would just flying from London to Los Angeles)
