Perhaps I have misunderstood what you are saying here, NM?
This is certainly not the case for CX flights credited to QFF.
eg. CX metal HKG-ICN = 1,284 miles credited to MPO
credit the same flight to QFF and you get 1,275 miles.
CX metal HKG-PEK 1,237 miles on MPO, 1,234 on QFF.
CX metal HKG-SIN 1,592 on MPO, 1,601 on QFF.
CX metal HKG-BNE 4,317 on MPO, 4,304 on QFF
etc. etc.
Is this the kind of thing you were talking about?
