economy (lowest price) vs economy (flexible)
I just did a quick search on aircanada.com for fares SYD-LHR in August, and the lowest price economy fares display at around $3,300 and the flexible economy fares at around $10,700. That seems like one hell of a premium to get you into the position to use a SWU.
Is that normal? Are there other sites where I could price out a specific Y, M, U fare for anything even moderately close to 'lowest price'?

Try kayak or another travel website that allows you to select "refundable" economy and see what you get. I've had better luck finding "odd" itins and booking classes where ACs website doesn't accept it.

You can also use http://beta.itasoftware.com/ and search for
SYD:: O:AC+ / F BC=U
LHR:: O:AC+ / F BC=U
Unfortunately I don't know how to search for trips which combine different legs in different booking classes. I don't find any matches for booking class U or M and the fares for booking class Y show up over $10k.
