Rules completely changed with the new award chart (that wiki is completely outdated and should not be used) but North America - HKG DXB is not "For instance, Australia-Europe/Middle East/Asia outside of HKG will be two awards (breaking at HKG)", since, well, Australia isn't North America last I checked. It was always allowed (used it a number of times) because stopovers in HKG were allowed for NA awards.

Basically the new award chart means you should be able to get up to a two week stopover in HKG for NA--HKG-DXB or AU/NZ-HKG-DXB, AS allows an en-route stopover of that length or less in the carrier hub for any award like this. Of course you will pay some considerably higher mileage these days.
