Thanks.
No first hand confirmation, but I'd expect that there is no fine print, and that you will be able to board.
(My last trip, which contained GRU transit and EZE final destination consisted of the SFO check-in agent verifying that I was onward to EZE and didn't need a Brazil visa, and then asking for my Argentina payment proof.)
The big caveats here are
(1) Interline baggage issues are in flux and if baggage claim/recheck is necessary, the only way one can get his baggage and re-check it @ EZE is to pass through immigration.
(2) Who knows what will happen in the case of IRROPS if you need to leave the airport.
