Are you logged in on the AF site when you do the "dummy booking"?
I just did it again. I went to the AF site, logged in and then picked "Book your tickets" in the drop down menu. Then I choose NYY-HKG on the 21st of AUG. I select one way, and also to be flexible with the dates. On the 21st of AUG, there aren't no flights available, but on the 20th I can get the flight for 80K. Same on the 23rd.
I select the 20th, and I then click "Next" (at the bottom of the page). The system then gives me the following info;
21:15
New York, John F Kennedy
10:45 +1 Day
Paris, Charles de Gaulle AF011

Paris, Charles de Gaulle
07:15 +2 Days
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Intl AF184

I then choose th 80K option, and the system gives me this info;

EDIT: Aha, and now all of a sudden, the system is telling me that 125K miles is needed for this leg. (in the final stage that is.) This wasn't the case the first time. Then the system showed all the way, that "only" 80K miles was needed. Must have been a mishap in the system. Really sorry for the confusion!
Cheers,
