Eventually there were four(!) of them crowded around her monitor debating my situation in Japanese. After about 5 minutes I asked if there was a problem, and the agent smiled and said everything was fine. About 5 minutes after that, she printed off my luggage label and boarding passes for both flights. Quite amusing - there were still three of them there when I left the desk.
The agent was wrong about lounge access. Reciprocal lounge access is a OW benefit if you are traveling in J.
