Well... I'm thinking at this point that one of two things happened:
Either A: 20-29 is an exception to the normal rules put in place by today's patch (which... I still have hope was just a mistake or bug...);
Or B: people in that BG weren't entirely forthcoming about their XP-on/off status. Because I don't think it's going to happen in another bracket. Sigh. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up... keep fighting the good fight, hopefully this will be fixed/reverted in a day or two.

That just happened to me... So it seems to be further evidence that this is just a colossal programming screw-up on Blizz's end... Especially since, even though the quality of their products has fallen considerably in the last while, I just can't see them splitting queues again without saying something ahead of time.
