Well, I understand that AA's system would not automatically credit the bonus but it seems to me that I am still fulfilling the intentions of the promotion. Wouldn't AAdvantage Customer Service be likely to give an EXP the bonus for the RTW itinerary? After all, I'm certainly spending a sufficient amount of money on this ticket!

From what I understand, a RTW ticket is a series of one-way sectors. It is not in any sense a round-trip ticket. Even if you have segments that create a round-trip itinerary within the RTW ticket, the applicable RTW tariff does not classify this as a round-trip journey.
On a positive note, enjoy the trip (and the miles)!
