Ie they only *imply* this shouldn't happen by virtue of explicitly saying the base fare will be revised if changes are made before the first segment is flown and being silent on that for when after the first segment is flown. Alas silence is not clarity, cf they are also silent on charging the difference in taxes which we know/accept happens.
If this were how airlines conducted themselves, there would be almost unlimited latitude to make massive charges any time someone wanted to change anything. (eg "We silently did not mention that we're charging $2,000 US every time you change your seat.") QF have sold RTW tickets during other flash sales without changing the rules. QF have told me (and I believe others) in writing that the rules for this ticket are the standard Oneworld Explorer rules.
