Flex ticket rebooked to Business Class...is it Basic or 'classic'?!

Now that we have the Business Basic fare, I noticed something when looking at rebooking options.

My booking ATH-SOF is in economy Flex. When I look at the rebooking option, I see that I can rebook in 'Business' for a fairly good price, but does anyone know if that rebooks into Business Basic or 'classic' Business Class. The reason I ask is that the miles displayed are 2,640, which as this is while logged in, is the figure for me as a Gold member (2,200 + 440 bonus miles). That is certainly not right for 'classic' Business Class, which should be 3,000 (2,500 + 500 bonus miles).

What's strange is that the price quote is the same as the quote for a new ticket in 'classic' Business Class, and the features are the same (i.e. rebooking without a fee).

So it's all rather confusing...can anyone shed some light? Is this an error?
