My LX itinerary is in July, which is the height of US tourist travel to Europe, so I don't think it's an "off-peak" thing.

While I don't doubt your personal experience, something changed within the past week that has dramatically increased the likelihood that *A awards will price this way. Perhaps the issue first took hold on Asian routes, and recently has expanded to Europe? I've been babysitting my aforementioned LX itinerary almost daily, looking for saver availability at an earlier arrival time, and the new pricing only appeared for me a few days ago.

Last night I booked ORD - NRT - BKK on ANA and Thai biz, 70k. Return in coach on Asiana's 380, Seoul to JFK. Everything priced out at the "sale" price.
I went in and bumped the NRT - BKK leg back a week so we have time in Japan at the "sale" price. Very happy!
