3b1) Unless it says differently on the ticket, in these conditions of carriage, or in any tariffs which apply, a ticket is valid for travel for:
  • one year from the date it is issued or
  • one year from the date you first travelled using the ticket, as long as your first flight took place within a year of the ticket being issued.
3b2) If you are prevented from travelling within the validity period of a ticket because we could not confirm your reservation at the time you asked for it, we will:
  • extend the validity period of the ticket or
  • give you a voluntary fare refund.
Would have thought this means they should re-issue the ticket such that validity extends beyond 365 days from initial issue.

Is this correct or do they have a get-out somewhere?
The way I understand it is that for 3b2 the one year validity starts when the reservation is issued - i.e. ticketed (not made).
