there is no exception that allows an itinerary to 'touch' Asia - even just a transit - without paying for that continent

The exception you refer to allows a second vist to the continent; something which is generally not allowed
Also the exception is not restricted to the LHR-SIN/MEL direct flights, but to any transit without stopover.
IIRC someone recently reported being allowed the transit on an Africa-SWP transit of HKG
