NZ have allowed you take 4 bags in Business for many years and I personally have used the benefit several times. Their policy is quite clear - the ticketed itinerary must have two or more Star Alliance carriers on it (they don't need to be connecting flights) in order for Elite/Gold/*G to receive a 4th bag.
