I'll be patient before inquiring to AA, but just checking my recollection.
I was just under the 1MM mark with AA, and when my US MM figure transfered over on Sunday, I crossed that threshold and 35K miles posted that same day. I don't see why you wouldn't get those SWUs, as you did qualify for LT Platinum; and that's what one receives when one does so. It may not trigger the 1MM award of 35K miles because you "leap-frogged" over it. But I'd call and just explain to them what happened if the 35K miles don't post.

Edit: I was just looking at the AA website regarding the 2015 program. It looks like you won't be getting the 35K miles. Just the 4 SWUs and LT Platinum status. Going by the wording, someone who had over 1 million MMs with US already had MM status with US. So there is nothing new being achieved. However, since there was nothing beyond LT Silver status with US's MM program, attaining LT Platinum is considered a new achievement.
