Ah Ha. Got it!
The new rule is
K. 1. TRAVEL BETWEEN SOUTH WEST PACIFIC AND EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST ON A SINGLE FLIGHT NUMBER/OR BY SURFACE IS CONSIDERED TRAVELLING SWP-ASIA-EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST THROUGH THREE CONTINENTS

red have been added?
Checking back through old versions of the rules, it turns out those words were added to the Nov-2012 version. And none of us noticed!
