I'm not motivated very much to research this as I'll always be redeeming one-way Oneworld awards on QF, but I can't believe the rule is this way about no stopovers allowed on a one-way award. Was the problem in the last example the need to hub via LHR and that was the only reason it was 2 awards instead of 1?
No, the stopover is not prohibited, but you will pay points for 2 fares: one fare LHR--SIN + the fare SIN--SYD. Whereas without the stopover, you pay 1 fare LHR--sin--SYD.
