I'm so happy so many people can enjoy my PSA-AKL-FRA magic ticket ;-)
Thanks @Matt4 and @remdk - both useful, and apologies for overlooking the check-in baggage wiki for hand luggage info.
As I suspected, this is probably a non issue. If anyone has any tales of woe from specific journeys please do share...
And if anyone has any insight as to why QR choose such an odd combination of dimensions for their hand carry that might also be interesting to understand.
