Why no stop on asia 1 - asia 1 award?

Thailand, China and Japan are all part of "Asia 1" AE award.

How come I get the message that this itinerary cannot be booked in one award?


BKK-HND (destination)

Return:
HND-CTU (stop)
CTU-BKK

AE website says any return award can include a stop (plus the destination).

Stopovers are not permitted on intracontinental travel, unless it's a North American itinerary.

I am confused. I thought it was possible to book a mini rtw with two stops and one POT if flying whilst flying a star alliance carrier and not just AC? Has this recently changed?

I think that is what the following rule said, is this correct?

28.3. Intercontinental travel (travel between two continents): Two stopovers permitted in addition to the point of turnaround. One open jaw is permitted in lieu of one of the two stopovers.
