I've been playing around with this, but you can actually openjaw the fares between the cities that is on sale with 3rd party sites. I had HKT - LHR // PEK - HKT booked with Orbitz for $626 but had to cancel as reposition cost back to PEK is too much. I also saw BKK - ICN // PEK - HKT fares for $450ish.
Also, depending on the destination, the fare works past June return. I've seen as far as September return when I was playing around with it.

I believe you did not notice that this is in Economy. In J this is close to 1900 Euro.

Okay, since it seems there's been some confusion on this topic: the ex-HKT fare sale is still going on, and it appears that ALL tickets with a departure date before the end of June are eligible. Moreover, they're available directly from MH's website (and, curiously, Google Flights no longer lists MH flights, for some reason).
Here are some sample fares, all r/t in J, in USD, and inclusive of taxes/fees. Unless otherwise noted they're apparently available for all dates in June:
HKT-PEK: $344 (!)
HKT-PVG: $378
HKT-PER: $600
HKT-MEL: $626
HKT-SYD: $638
HKT-TPE: $773
Finally, while there are no flights to LHR in J for $550, there are definitely seats available for well under 1900 euro: HKT-LHR tickets in J are $1,110 for all of June.
EDIT: Okay, not literally all MH destinations are this inexpensive. NRT and ICN aren't on sale, for some reason, and their "sale" prices to India aren't much less than their LHR r/t.

15. TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
15.1 ** valid for travel commencing on/after 21may 16 and on/ ** before 30jun 16.
16. SALES RESTRICTIONS
16.1 ** tickets must be issued on/after 21may 16 and on/before ** 29may 16.
----------------------------
Some of these are great prices - in particular the BKK-PEK fare. Too bad though it doesn't work the other way - if it did my bag would be packed already for a weekend getaway
. Business deals ex-China on MH have pretty much dried up - but I haven't given up hope!
