Very strange, it's not the first time AA does something like this on the LAX-YVR route.
This is a well known and documented issue. What's worse is that OTAs and AA have a fare construction for them but often times there are no seats in the respective fare classes to book through.

A year ago I knew that if I found a good price via searching multi-city I could find a site (vayama.com, cheapair.com, justfly.com) that could actually force it through and ticket. Now I'm having a very, very hard to find a site that can actually ticket a res at the price shown.

AA's site is abysmal with this stuff. At least if you do a multi-city search with GF and see a fare for Delta or United, those re-direct properly and you can actually complete the purchase on those airlines' sites. AA is a whole separate beast...
