Could this just be a database mess up and my original flight is indeed flying?

They aren't revenue management. The AM people aren't able to connect you to RM even if you take their first-borns hostage. However, if you know your local CX YVR management, they'll get answers for you.

Both 9Jan CX865 and CX837 are zeroed.

Not really necessary at this stage as 8Jan CX865 and CX837 still look healthy. If you are flexible enough to leave a day earlier, just wait for them to cancel 9Jan and protect you on 8Jan.

Air Canada. Even YVR Uncle went on it this year. Lot less guesswork.
Air Canada can double crew and not be subject to closed loop like CX.
