I have never had an issue when AS was on the boarding pass either, aside from a QF flight that never posted at all to any program. However, posting to AA when AS was on the boarding pass has been an issue I have encountered. What a JL agent sees in their system may not accurately reflect the underlying reservation with respect to mileage accural in another program that is automatically posted. Alternatively, it may be an AA IT issue.

I incorrectly assumed your 100% bonus was an Elite bonus, not an additional bonus as per the JL charts. Your accural is correct. If you had Elite status you would get an additional Elite bonus over and above the charts. For MVPG that is 100% of the base miles. You would have earned 7,000 base EQM & RDM, 7,000 additional per the chart as RDM and another 7,000 Elite as RDM for a total of 7,000 EQM towards status & 21,000 RDM. Elite status does matter for additional RDM.
