It's a bug. When QR first joined the exception was not there. I emailed oneworld about it and the next round of rules changes they added the exception:

The L bug remained and I emailed oneworld again and it was fixed, but it appears it is back. Your choices are
1) email oneworld, wait about 2 weeks, and go back and forth
2) use the online tool and book in L but change to A later
3) call AA RTW desk
