This is true, from what I found in Sabre. It looks like the QR flight number is allowed to be in A for the DONEx fares, but not the AA flight number. If you use the AA flight number, it prices as AONEx. Of course any airline can override that, but apparenty QF does not want to.

We all know that isn't true, but not much you can do if QF says that and you want QF to ticket it.
