I have (I believe) good news on this one (for anyone that still cares). Was checking STAR1 RTW rules for my next trip to confirm something, and this stuck my eye (note: this is the fare ex-aus, I *assume* this rule applies to tix bought elsewhere, eg: the US, but of course your local rules MAY be different)...

F)INTERCONTINENTAL TRAVEL SHALL BE DEFINED AS
TRAVEL FROM ONE CONTINENT TO ANOTHER. TRAVEL
BETWEEN POINTS IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND POINTS IN
SOUTH AMERICA/NORTH AMERICA/OR MEXICO SHALL NOT
BE CONSIDERED INTERCONTINENTAL TRAVEL.

My reading of this means that you would *not* be leaving the US in the trip to Quito, and thus you could quite happily do this under the Star routing rules, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone disagree with this assement?
