I know you already know this, but this is an unfortunate aspect in many ways on RES. A RES GS/QS/IA on only x-days rerouted into a LC day loses out on not only L9 pay, but all the trip credit that would have been above guarantee.
This raises another question though, and that's the timeliness of PB/PR application. The situation you describe (RR into LC day) SHOULD only be possible on a carry-out trip with LC days at the very start of the next bid period. If it happened in the middle of a bid period, I think the RR should immediately trigger PB/PR and the LC day isn't there anymore.
Ancillary to this conversation -
Everyone should be putting in their contract surveys that RES pilots should get the full value of any GS/IA/QS on top of RES guarantee no matter whether the underlying day was LC or X. PB days would still only be generated for violated X days, but if you're doing any type of flying that you weren't eligible to be assigned as a standard LC pilot, then you should get the full trip value as premium pay.
