I think NZ have got the whole thing all wrong (maybe intentionally). The *G benefits do apply even on a single airline ticket. It's their Seat 2 Suit fare structure that cannot be applied when a ticket involves a second carrier.

Perhaps NZ should exit *A and become a Connecting Partner because they have become more like one than a full member.
That excerpt was from a page referring specifically to connecting flights and journeys with more than one airline.

I'm reading that as the instructions for if you have an itinerary that includes 2 star alliance carriers rather than as a requirement to have 2 *A carriers. To me this page doesn't address single airline tickets so it doesn't appear to exclude the extra bag for *G benefits for single airline situation.
