I'm more concerned with the QF awards, I can't even find Premium Economy space using AS miles.
this has always been a problem. qantas never releases any award space, they occasionally will if you book a long ways out. It's not fair really, but it's more of a problem directly with QF. Since even their own members aren't getting access to awards.
With this EK problem, the space is there, AS just cannot confirm it due to an error on their end.

Could not agree more. Very well said, and is exactly what I was getting at.
