I'm not sure if there is anything you can do, but my experience (a few weeks ago) was the exact opposite. I had T fares from SJC-LHR and I upgraded one with Avios and one with an Airport Upgrade for cash. Both flights have credited on AA as I fares, so 25% EQDs instead of 20% and a cabin bonus on RDMs.
Thats certainly not what I expected, but its certainly nice to have.
