I don't think this has anything to do with expanded availability for asia miles...if anything it looks like award space blocking by ba be it deliberate or not.

Wait.

Let's be precise here. My previous assessment was based on departure date of April 12. April 13 is a different date

.

In fact, CX881 is freely available to all partners on April 13. You don't even need to do any "long-sell". You can book it right off ba.com.

Here is the search I ran using Award Nexus for the 4 sources of CX availability:

Code:

(again, filtered to show only non-stop on each day)

  [QF] LAX-HKG 1 x F seat 04-12 + 1 day
  ================================
  TH-04-12: CX883, CX885, CX881
  FR-04-13: CX883, CX881
  
  [CXJL] LAX-HKG 1 x F seat 04-12 + 1 day
  ================================
  TH-04-12: 
  FR-04-13: CX881
  
  [BA] LAX-HKG 1 x F seat 04-12 + 1 day
  ================================
  TH-04-12: 
  FR-04-13: CX881
  
  [CX] LAX-HKG 1 x F seat 04-12 + 1 day
  ================================
  TH-04-12: CX885, CX881
  FR-04-13: CX881

As you can see, all sources, including ba.com, is showing CX881 as available on April 13, for one F seat.
