Amusingly, some of the most expensive fares are ex-HNL. HNL-SYD return (the long way, via LAX, LHR and SIN) in F will set you back GBP 30k. The same route in reverse is a mere GBP 15k. BA have obviously judged that Hawaiians have a much higher appetite to spend 60 hours in BA F.
If you find an incorrect, cheap fare BA will not honour it. If you actually bought this, I wonder if BA woould come back to you, apologise, and refund a lot of your money.

Unlikely, there being lo legal basis for them to do so they are not legally obliged.

Almost irrelevant in extreme oddities like this example, but one sided terms and conditions in an oligopolistic market require a counterbalance.
How is it one sided? This is a straightforward offer at a fixed price, if the passenger is daft enough willing to pay the offer price the contract is binding. The contract is entered in to freely with the price clearly stated. The airline offered a seat at a price and the passenger accepted the price - ergo no contract by mistake.
