I keep meaning to ask - when did they change this? From my miles earning, it seemed that if you flew with a transit only it would be a single award, but if you had a stopover you'd get it as two flights.

For example in summer last year, I flew Saudi-Dubai-Asia with a transit (although I did leave the airport, it was <24 hours) and got the usual Middle East - East Asia miles, but then had a stay of a few days in Dubai on the way back and got both East Asia - Dubai and Dubai - Middle East miles.

That doesn't seem to happen now, though.
