Some responses for you:
"...
I had to go with QF on SYD-SIN"... Well yes, the only Oneworld airlines that fly between SYD and SIN are QF and BA.
"...will all Business class flights (which all of them are) definitely book into 'D' class?". Yes, definitely.
"...out of a maximum allowed of 34,000...". Oneworld has two round-the-world products. The GlobalExplorer (which has a limit of 34,000 miles for Business and First class tickets), and the Oneworld Explorer which has no mileage limit and instead is charged based on the number of continents touched. Your proposed itinerary would be a four-continent ticket. The on-line tool can book either product, and often gets itself confused, which is why you were no doubt getting messages about exceeding the 34,000 mile limit.
Many thanks

I'll review the Wiki again and play around with options on the OW tool - but very helpful responses. I had the BAEC earning data learnt by heart, so feels like teaching an old dog new tricks having to learn a new mileage accrual system from scratch!
