Then on landing in NRT, I immediately get on the phone with AA, and move NRT-KUL-LHR to August, paying $125 + any changed taxes for the NRT stop, but not causing a ticket reprice. Does that make sense?

If you want to change your first flight (SYD-NRT in August, already ticket issued) to February, ticket has to be repriced and reissued. In that case, you can change NRT to stopover without hassle.
