No luck! Ended up chatting to 2/3 different RTW agents and one of them called the Fares/Validation desk again and they stuck to their guns. Specifically asked if changing the transit to a stopover in Doha on the way down would change things and they said it wouldn't.They say that because I am originating in Europe and then travelling to South Africa, I can't go back to Europe afterwards. I am allowed to do a stopover in DOH on the way back up and then head to Asia afterwards.

So my alternative booking that's sent for validation now is: OSL-xDOH-JNB-DOH-HKG... I'll have to sort my own flights from Doha to Dublin and back (as I have specific times I need to be back) which is frustrating, but it is what it is. I don't think I could HUCA any more - I think nearly everyone at the desk had looked at it by now!
When we booked the RTW we start in January we were told something similar, I wanted to do DOH-EBB-DOH-JNB-SYD but was told I was not allowed the two trips from DOH to Africa (even with no stopover).
