TPD restrictions not shown in EF routing rules?
I'm looking at the AA fare DFR from CDG to SCL. (Great fare -- quite flexible, no penalties, good booking class...)

In ExpertFlyer, the routing is displayed as follows:
Code:
AT01*  /VIA THE ATLANTIC/ PUBLISHED MPM 8708                    
       MILEAGE SYSTEM APPLIES ORIGIN TO DESTINATION             
       TICKETED POINT DEDUCTION OF 1000 MILES APPLIES           
       WHEN TRAVEL IS VIA DFW AND/OR BOS
When I ask AA about the fare rules, they tell me there's another restriction on the 1000 mile TPD: "PROVIDED ALL TRAVEL IS ON AA WITHIN AREA 1". That's OK but does result in an additional fare for routings that would have benefited from the TPD.

Is AA correct? Is that rule genuinely in the fare? If so, I'm surprised that EF doesn't show it. Would that be an artifact of the way AA filed the fare? A SABRE glitch? Something else?
