I guess this would be fine if you avoid AA all together on your RTW and have a paper ticket issued.

From what I heard, even with straight forward round-trip bookings with "OPEN" segments on AA, sometimes the AAgents have a hard time comprehending what it is. Some AA domestic check-in agents (especially the newer ones) will probalby even try to send you over to the "ticketing" counter if they see you have a paper ticket with an "OPEN" ticket as they haven't even seen one in their career (All they've seen are e-tickets with fixed dates).
