I had same experience on a DONE03 ex-AMM I booked last fall; i.e., couldn't book with online tool (got to CC page then error message) & booked with AA RTW at higher fare.
Good to know! Is the difference in taxes/fees? The on-line tool will show the taxes and fees, and the RTW desk can be coaxed into reading them out (but they don't seem to like it). Sounds like it might be useful to do this to figure out what accounts for the difference.

Do you mean the $125 re-route fee? There shouldn't be a re-ticketed fee, aside from the $15 or whatever nuisance fee AA charges non-EXP to issue tickets.
