As long as you have a tkt with an OK in the status box, even if your reservation could not be found, you are due denied boarding consideration from American, for being bumped off their(AA's) flight.
What's the going rate for international FC bumps? Often depends on how well you can negociate.
The other thing that needs to be considered tho, is how late did they get you to your destination vs. what was originally scheduled?
In the history portion of the American reservation, there would have been a JAL record locator. Sounds like it was just convenient for them not to be able to find the reservation vs. bump one of their own
