You can definitely book itineraries over 34k BIS miles in the tool. That 'error' isn't relevant unless you're doing a DGLOB34, and if it's not pricing then it's something else. Could be segments in economy which it doesn't like sometimes, sometimes it has one segment departing before another arrives, I've even had it refuse to price BA segments when QR segments price just fine etc.
