I flew 4 AF metal legs issued via DL last year and always was admitted to SC. I'm not sure why this would be different. I'm actually quite stunned that a DL ticket/boarding pass with a VS metal flight would be cause for rejection.
How do you do OLCI through DL when your first and only flight is VS? You always check in with the airline that operates the first flight. For example, if you're starting in Europe with an AF or KLM flight, trying to check in on delta.dumb redirects you to the AF/KLM website.
