I know with normal flights, there is a fear of Hidden city pricing/no showing, but does this apply with xONEx tickets?
Even if they wanted to reprice your itinerary to the "correct fare", I doubt there is any other fare or combination of fares that could be used to price your real itinerary.

I think the ticketing carrier (presumably JL) will get over it (they'll probably never learn that it was unflown anyway, CX & JL are hardly best buddies).

However you may wish to arrange to have a stop in HKG instead of just a transit.
