Interesting. Just done a couple of dummy bookings and do get it, perhaps didnt notice this morning...
Price didnt change with or without air points number.
Message also comes before seat select so makes limited sense.

I did a few funny bookings and see it regardless of the fare type selected. But see no difference in fare prices.
I know the system that handles married fares is turned off at present.

Data point for *Golds. I made dummy bookings in Y and J using my THAI *G credentials. Had access to the HVC seating but the message discussed did not come up at any stage. Interesting.

NZ is "closed" but nobody really knows how long for. That's not to say travel for NZers to other countries will be banned long term, and there is a lot of hope that Trans Tasman travel could be a possibly back within the next couple of months.

I genuinely think Perth will be up and going by late July. Time will tell.
Hong Kong is a complete unknown but booked a fully refundable fare as trying to plan remainder of year - but many many variables......

Unable to select seats
I had similar problems! Have a booking to Chicago in July 2020, to ORD in Premium economy (Airpoints upgrade pending) confirmed seat in Premium economy, return to Auckland in Business, confirmed seat in business: at least that is what I thought...
Received a message of my travel agent asking me if I wanted to cancel the flights in July. They still appear as booked flights in my booking overview. One can still purchase them on airnz.co.nz
However, I am unable to see the seating map any longer, so can't change seats, no intention doing so, but found it interesting. Says seats will allocated at check in if one clicks on select seats in the booking. The seats I originally selected are still visible with their seat numbers in my booking.
Does not look good ....

The booking was made using credits, its now a fully flexibility fare, than can be cancelled at any time as fully refundable. This instead of $ being held in credit. If we get to go, fantastic. If we dont then refund is due.
