I recently had to change two flights on a BA issued AONE when AA's timetable changed. Even though the original ticket was issued outside the US I found the AA RTW desk EXTREMELY helpful. It was quite complicated, involving new venues and dates as well as finding a way round the problem of only being allowed one non-stop, trans-continental flight in the US. AA's attitude was that, since they had caused the problem, they shiould fix it. Terrific.
It also involved reinstating an A flight when the ticket showed M - similar to your situation.
I would suggest ringing them and asking them to sort it out for you. Then take the ticket to an AA ticket counter with everything pre-sorted on their computer - it took me about four minutes to have the entire ticket re-issued with no fee.
[Have just noticed that you are based in Scotland. I was referring to the RTW desk in the US. AA in the UK are not as responsive, and don't have trained RTW personnel of the same calibre. Still worth trying though.]
