It isn't a problem, as such - or if it is, it is definitely a first-world problem - it is disappointment. And
intuition hit the nail on the head:

As I implied in my original post, my status is with another oneworld member (Cathay), so I don't want an AY+ membership associated with the booking. I
would, however, like to use the app.
In fairness, I checked in last night (for my flight tonight) on my phone, and i must say the mobile website was VERY slick - very clear, intuitive, quick to load and easy to use. Full marks. But if they can do that so well (and it is by far the best mobile website I have seen from any airline), why can't they configure the app for non-AY+ members? Especially those who are members with another alliance partner?
PS: Passport (app) integration would be nice too. The only workable option I was given was to receive my boarding pass by email, which worked perfectly (and had both my main flight and my onward connection), but gives a PDF attachment. This is also very clear and well-laid-out. But road warriors don't always have access to a printer...
