I have just bought a reward ticket for the same flight in CW and will try to get my taxes back from the last leg on my original WT+ ticket. Pretty p***d about netflights!
Yes I am afraid that is a limitation of Bulk and certain other travel agent tickets. What happens sometimes is that say a cruise company buys a wadge of tickets off BA super-cheap, spare tickets end up on the travel agent market and then sold off, sometimes piecemeal. I don't think you can blame Netflights, it's a factor of the market and many Agents do it. These tickets are cheap for a reason. You should be able to do an Airport Upgrade Promotion on a Bulk though. But indeed
LTN Phobia is correct, most TA tickets would not be Bulks or related "Included Tour" tickets. It used to be a massive feature of the market, remember the days of the Consolidators? I think BA, and other airlines, have tried to rein this in more recently.
In terms of your original question, I would change your name slightly between the tickets (e.g. by adding a middle initial or spelling out your middle name). I have the same name as my father and it did cause problems over the years.
