For what its worth, the system did allow me to do this one time. The next time, I made the new reservation without including my AAdvantage number, and then added the AAdvantage number after I had cancelled the old reservation. I don't like the two browser thing, if I can help it, because stuff can happen sometimes, even in a few seconds.
The idea of just buying the tickets at the current price -- and then taking a voucher for the difference if the price goes down -- is a good idea, though. I am not used to the "no change fees" world...
