SQ has traffic rights between IAH and DME. They do not have traffic rights, even for their own stopover passengers, on the other sectors you listed.
The ones with "=" in my list are listed as flights in their own flight timetable.

Finally, that fare is only for sale ex-UK, ex North America, and ex-SIN. You cannot originate at any other point on that type of fare. It'll show as on offer ex-TPE, too, but it's not actually bookable originating there under the rules.
What about CAI-SIN(stop)-EWR(stop)/JFK-FRA ?
I'm thinking of booking a LHR-TLV and doing an Israel/Jordan/Egypt tour from TLV to CAI and then booking a FRA-LHR to finish it. Also I'm thinking of doing NYC-YUL-NYC on the side if AC has a good fare. All that might end up being more expensive than a real RTW though.
An alternative is to do SIN-HKG(stop)-SFO and then make my own way SFO-YUL-JFK to close the gap but I think that would be more expensive than just NYC-YUL-NYC.

As you say "All that might end up being more expensive than a real RTW though". You can certainly do what you're contemplating, but not on an inexpensive SQ-only xEZSQ-type fare....it's simply not offered ex-CAI.
So -- for example -- if you buy a "real" RTW from OneWorld, CAI back to CAI, it'll cost you GBP 5562 each. The equivalent *A, in First, will set you back
GBP 8793.
Buy a "real" RTW from LHR back to LHR? It'll cost you GBP 6800 on OneWorld in F; GBP 9548 on *A.
And, if you want to use SQ, you're stuck with the *A fares, or with piecing together SQ's own point-to-point one way fares.
Bottom line: the xEZSQ fares are irrelevant for the Middle East and/or the Indian subcontinent.................
And summarizing the rest of the thread it looks like ex-USA the following routings are valid. The /europe/ means journeys can be continued from that location or any other European airport SQ flies to such as Milan, Barcelona, LHR, CDG, etc.
Backtracking is allowed in Europe. How about North America? Can you fly into EWR and leave from IAH?
And end at DME? I dunno.
I suppose this is implied if you can fly EWR-SIN-DME-IAH?

There are probably more combinations than the ones listed if you don't mind a break in the journey in Asia.
It doesn't sound like it. If it's only available ex-LHR actually starting from LHR then you have to fly straight to SIN. If you leave out the segment leaving from SIN you have to pick it up from some location East of SIN that SQ flies from and fly to someplace East of there. That's going to limit you to the segments listed, ICN-SFO, HKG-SFO, or NRT-LAX. Ie, there are other combinations but they're just the same routings with segments skipped. They don't get you to any new destinations.

Nope. The rule explicitly states that "no backtracking is allowed except between two SQ destinations in Europe."
No backtracks in Asia; no backtracks in North America.
Is it a backtrack if you start at EWR (westbound) and then end at IAH? (Or the other way?) This was never an issue before because SIN-EWR was not allowed on the SQ only RTW.
