EY can't just send you to MXP independently of the AA reservation, otherwise you've no-showed - that KHI-AUH segment would need to be disposed of somehow. And if they do start tinkering with the AA reservation, they need to ensure it is done properly (i.e. without misconnects).
You should be aware that one solution for them is to fly you from AUH to North America directly. In that case (and I'd guess that is what happens most of the time), probably no AA codeshare and no EQM for you unless you try and get ORC, which would be an interesting exercise given there are no documented IRROPS on your AA ticket.
