Through the other programs you'll see a BR routing of SIN-TPE-YYZ, with SIN-TPE booked in X, TPE-YYZ booked in I. But on Lifemiles both segments book in I, and in fact it shows no space in X for the SIN-TPE segment. However, if you just search SIN-TPE, Lifemiles will only let you book into economy.

I've actually made a few Lifemiles bookings on EVA before I noticed this irregularity. Does anyone know what's up with the difference in inventory? Do I run the risk of showing up to the airport and being forced to sit in Y? All my bookings are ticketed and they show confirmed in BR's Royal Laurel business booked in I, but given Lifemiles' IT issues this discrepancy me a bit uneasy. Could it be some sort of married segment logic that other programs aren't handling?
What's up with the difference in inventory? You have the answer mentioned 5 times in your post - it is just Lifemiles They are just weird, sometimes for good, sometimes bad. If your bookings are in business class, you'll be in business class.
