This is a very good question!

The filed rule is quite ambiguous:

Code:

50.RULE APPLICATION AND OTHER CONDITIONS                  
   AA/AY/BA/CX/IB/JC/JL/JO/KA/LA/LP/MA/NU/QF/RJ/XL/4M     
   ONEWORLD                                               
   EXPLORER FARES                                         
   APPLICATION
[...]
     BAGGAGE REGULATIONS - THE PIECE SYSTEM APPLIES TO    
     PASSENGERS TRAVELING ON A ONEWORLD EXPLORER FARE.

Incidentally, my interpretation of AA's rules at http://www.aa.com/aa/i18nForward.do?...eAllowance.jsp is that yours is an international itinerary and that therefore you fall in the "Travel to/through/from Europe and Asia" or the "Other International Travel" category. As such you don't have to pay for baggage check-in on any AA segment (whether it's a domestic flight or not) in the qualifying itinerary.
