Not sure what I'm expecting here to be honest - maybe a discount on the new ticket or something like that. I don't think anyone's going to fly me there on their "dime" - though that would be nice

Finally, I still think it's BA's responsibility for the BA legs original routing credit and not AA.
BAEC will award the ORC if AA confirms the details, BAEC are more likely to award them quicky if it was book as BA codeshares, so AAnnn sold as BAnnnn. Absent that, then you need to wait for AA's green light, which will probably come, but but it may take a while. I'm reasonably confident that's the easy one here. It has always been the case that the TPs and Avios are ok'd by the airline with whom you actually travel.
You may get a $100 voucher from AA for the BOS link, I have my doubts. Mechanical delays would put you in a better place. You're asking for something you didn't pay for, namely a ticket to Boston. You paid for a route via Boston and AA are at liberty to change that. Well known aspect of travel, you need to book tickets accordingly.
However, the upside is that you got through one of the worst snow events in US history relatively unscathed.
