V class is usually free or deeply discounted, which would make sense if this was some kind of special.

We'd have to see a printout of the fare rules for VHXANGE to be able to advise on crediting a canceled ticket. Things have changed on many of the lower fare buckets in the last year.
As a sample, here is the penalty verbage from a ORD-LON VLWANGE fare:
