Agreed. I'm surprised that QF will sell you a full Y ticket if the flight is that oversold. I've tried to use this benefit on SYD-SIN (and vv) flights, and have been refused in some cases, as Yield Management believes that the flight is too full - I've had to route via BNE or MEL instead.
Edit: to clarify, I've tried to use this benefit when tickets are not available for purchase - i.e. it's already full. In some cases, QF has let me purchase. In other cases it's been declined. Obviously there is some threshhold beyond which even WP can't buy a full Y ticket.
