Fourth time I called I got a well-informed pm-NW agent who immediately saw the fare class D was wrong, changed it to I, and it was confirmed by MH instantly and booked accordingly.
At least you got an agent who knew MH was a partner. I have called and gotten agents who assured me I could not fly through KUL on MH as they aren't a SkyMiles partner.
