It seems preposterous too not allow agents to touch Aeroplan bookings during IRROPS. I suspect there's an easier way that most agents just don't know about.
But I'm pretty sure that legally they needed to book you on the next flight with positive space. I'd go after them for that.
I told them as much, and presented them with options I'd pulled from Expertflyer. The desk called Aeroplan several times and they just insisted those weren't available "to them."
