The second leg was also operated by Etihad, marketed by Jet? If so, then I'm not sure what's going on. Could've been an error, or could be something else.
Regardless, it's definitely not the case that "a partner is a partner ...", even within the Oneworld alliance! It's entirely possible to have a flight ticketed by one airline, marketed by another, and operated by a third, and what mileage is credited (if any) can come down to the details of this. So it's always worth studying the fine print in advance (and asking folks on FT if things seem ambiguous)
