Perhaps xGLOBxx doesn't have everything in the routing written yet. Many other components in the fare rule also dictate what is possible and what not, so routing is just one of them. MPM means max permitted mileage.
Yes, *O is for oneworld. Sabre instituted auto pricing for RTW fares years ago for Sky Team, then Star and finally oneworld last year.
