I ended up modifying the return leg of one of my RDU-ORD-LAX-DFW and DFW-LAX-ORD-RDU detours, so that on the way back I actually went DFW-SAN-LAX-ORD-RDU. (Had a errand to run in SAN)
But I got the EQ and bonus miles posted for that first half.
Interesting. I've read a lot of anecdotal evidence that people don't get DEQMs in a scenario like yours and they sometimes get quite upset about it. Looks like you got lucky!
