Nor should they have.

Of those three, E+ is reasonable, business is not, and via LHR is unsurprising, but very much up to the agent's discretion.

That doesn't make any sense. People sit in E+ without a paid E+ seat assignment all the time. I wonder what, exactly, she was trying.
In general, whether J or P+, when you misconnect, you have the option of flying in a lower class of service or waiting for the next flight with available space. The relative paucity of domestic P+ flights hurt you here.
