It comes down to trying to define "RTW" and circumnavigation; very few do the latter; arguably it is more difficult and it is certainly associated with setting records - I imagine that is why the definition had to be invented; see OldBMWs last post for one way of doing a RTW.
IIRC, Nick Sanders used antipodean locations in Spain and New Zealand, so it is certainly possible to do a circumnavigation by bike. However, the locations have to be a bit limited compared with travelling on water, because there is a lack of land mass in the southern hemisphere.
