AA award snafu

Hi all, hope someone can help me with the following issue.

Need to get to LHR from LAX.

For my desired date there is J availability from SFO-LAX-LHR but space disappears if booking only LAX-LHR.

Placed it on hold, called in to drop the first segment but they weren't able to do it without canceling the whole itinerary. Never ran into this, since when does AA limits availability to certain city pairs? Any suggestions on how to drop that first segment? Obviously doing a return to SFO just to start the whole trip would be less than ideal...

Thanks
