The issue is still true. Your RTW books into M or D both mileage earning fares so you will be fine. However, if you just book a flight SYD-AKL, the cheapest fare books into K (no miles), the next fare into G (no miles), the next fare into S (still no miles) and the next fare into L (and again no miles). Just now at almost double the price of the cheapest fare will you find the first fare which gets you miles (but not if it contains a domestic flight).
