BA-issued domestic ticket means international baggage rules? Sortof?

I still can't make any sense of this. Like the OP in this thread, I have a BA-ticketed all domestic itinerary. This page (https://www.qantas.com/us/en/travel-...d-baggage.html) makes absolutely no mention of weight-based allowances for domestic flights -- it's all about piece based allowances. The only place it talks about weight-based is under "International flights (excluding North and South America)".

However, when I go to Manage my Booking, I have a purely weight-based allowance...



...unless I want to purchase additional allowance, which is piece-based:


Something seems broken here. (So, I could have 40 one-kilo bags, for free, and then pay $30 for the one 30kg bag? Or, if I had two 32kg bags and an 8kg bag, I could check 32kg #1 and the 8kg using the weight allowance, and then 32kg #2 using an additional bag allowance.... This sounds line one of those "3 quarters, 2 dimes" word problems.)

ETA: for what it's worth, it's on 125 (BA) ticket stock.
