If you read closely the fare rules of the ticket, it's not allowed.
It's like going to Amazon and buying something but the terms and conditions say "You may not buy this item."
The mainframe computer systems are so utterly complicated that it's nearly impossible for their complex fare calculations to easily detect all the manifestations of these accidental bookable fares. IMHO, that's the airlines fault... and probably that way for any sensible person looking at the situation.
But, it's still cheaper to spend millions suing bloggers and anyone who tries to make the practice well known than it is to fix the system. Same with other fuel dumping techniques.
