This morning, I was seeing rumors that RH was refusing to execute call options that people were trying to exercise.

Isn't that, by virtue of the nature of the contract, pretty much illegal?

No idea about legality, but of course there's no point in buying calls with a broker if they aren't going to let you exercise them.
