I then called CX to ensure everything was fine and they even sent me a new e ticket again afterwards, so your concern about reissuance may even have gone through in my case (although I'm not 100% sure if they actually reissued it.)
Thanks for the detailed info, I appreciate it! I wasn't aware of the ability of AA to inform BA/CX that you'd been upgraded "because of cabin closure;" this sounds like it might be very handy to know about. It sounds like you had a top-notch EP agent.
