The same problem goes for China Airlines. VS points are just not as easy to use as DL miles, even though the platforms are quite similar. Let's see when these problems will be solved.
Had exactly the same issue, tried four different agents and they all pointed to IT issues and said even manually issuing the ticket was impossible.
Ended up booking the exact same reward seat with Delta at an unfortunate premium. Hope this gets sorted soon.
