Did they accidentally show restricted (platinum?) upgrade inventory or what could have this been?

Would be interesting to hear what Pekka Antila Head of loyalty says about this, as he just the other week proudly announced this could never happen. Well, rather "we will never sell an upgrade if someone is on waitlist", but apparently they are fine ignoring waitlist and move on to sell awards to the public.
