On the other hand, in September, cheapest fare is $902 on Hawaiian. $400 is not too bad for an upgradeable ticket, especially with a 50% voucher.

That's exactly my point. OZ E fare is supposed to be upgradable per their fare class restriction, but if you read the fare rule, you will encounter

Sales restrictions
TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON THE STOCK OF OZ.
NOTE -
MILEAGE ACCRUAL PERMITTED
MILEAGE UPGRADE NOT PERMITTED

and the same thing shows up all the way to M class.
