No backtracking would apply to a paid round the world ticket. That's not what a multi-carrier reward flight is, so I don't think going to DOH twice will be an issue.
You are correct that all we have is rumour and speculation. And the earlier poster was undoubtedly also correct in saying it depends who you get on the phone and who you get in the ticketing dept.
I am hoping to book a complex multi-carrier award at some point so I have been following the discussion on here closely, but I don't have any great inside knowledge or recent personal experience.
