Never had a problem with this, myself. AA hardware (at the gate on boarding) has always scanned and accepted my BPs issued at HKG. No problem at TSA, either. IIRC, the scan code is a global standard and is the same at all airports. Is it possible that your HKG-issued BP was for an open AA segment, or for an AA segment which was changed after your HKG BP was issued?
