Y class
I guess what has happened is that the check in agent has seen the confirmed Y on your ticket (with a hidden D waitlist) and then done a no brain Y check in seat allocation for you.
If you had gone to the potential Mrs Spotwelder at the ticket desk for a yellow sticker as confirmed J then that would have worked.
If the miles and status has posted to QF, I would leave them out of it.
I would copy in GB as there are some GB issues here. The purser should have been able to recognise the A class ticket as a First Class ticket, not just a Club.
