My case was a schedule change where the previous booking was a direct flight on AA metal - and as you say, the policy does seem to preclude AA*/B6 rebooking. I was just surprised since my flight last October was a schedule change where the original flight was AA metal, but they agent was able to rebook on AA*/B6 direct without any fuss.
