Based on our inquires, including the information we have recently received from Korean Airlines headquarters, the new KE Standard Award Booking Class for the Business Cabin (O) should be applicable to SkyTeam partner award redemptions.

As you have already noticed, the KVS Tool User Guide has been updated accordingly:
This new Booking Class applies to KE flights that depart on or after 01 Mar 2012 and is already accessible via the KVS Tool:
