Of course you're free to argue the point with the airlines; if you succeed I believe you'd be the first.
Interesting interpretation: ex=via.

I won't be the one testing it as I always originate here in Australia. But if someone tries I would advice them to ticket at a small outstation and not at the AA RTW desk.
