One of the OWE rules is that the first sector cannot be surface -- precisely to prevent a clever way to use the fare from countries without current OW service. There have always been fares listed for countries that did not have OW service, often with very low values; historically these have been removed when plans to activate the routes approached. A quaint pattern, which presumably has a reason as it is too consistent, but unlikely to result in a cheap travel opportunity.
