I'm in a very similar situation with a paid QR business class ticket in September, CAI-DOH-BKK-DOH-CAI. I will also be in ATH prior to this and would need a positioning flight to CAI if flights were operating from there.
Again, I see no point in purchasing a positioning ticket at the moment. I am planning to ask QR to change my booking to commence/finish in BEY/AMM (on QR metal), and once this is done I plan to purchase a positioning ticket. Hopefully this can be done more than 3 days out (as I have with another QR Egypt ticket), but if not I'll just go for the best fare I can get (maybe an award using BA/QF/UA miles).
Really not much else that I can do, short of cancelling, which I don't intend to do.
