I believe, anecdotally, that unusual changes to a PNR are more likely to cause this.
I would also believe, as has been suggested before, is that AA is monitoring the process and attempting to fix different situations which should credit by fare but are crediting by distance

I suspect that as it goes, there will be less cases of distance credit
