Haven't had any issues with VS Economy Delight fares posting correctly over the years. Do you have email receipt from VS showing Economy Delight V booking class fare (like below)? Note that fare basis and booking class are not the same. The 8 letter fare basis code on VS Economy Delight fares will start with a coach class basis, but will have V booking class (this is part of dual inventory checking for such fares). The second to last letter of Economy Delight fares will be a C in fare basis code. Unfortunately, VS doesn't not include fare basis codes in email receipts like DL does.
