According to ITA Matrix with my dates the only way to get A class was by using the BA codeshares. AA say I can't book seats on these flights despite being operated by AA so I guess I'll need to contact BA and perhaps AY to sort this out. A very minor issue though!
Amarone, what's worked for me before on multi leg bookings is to use Powertools, and choose the German AA site. It does mean paying in Euro, but the process has been reassuring and the email confirmation instant, with the e-ticket a few minutes later.
