I guess the take-away here for me and others who were unaware of this rule is this:
the AA system preemptively did the UG despite an expired SWU. The onward segment had not cleared prior. I'm happy that AA proactively called me to fix it vs me trying to board with an invalid boarding pass and no seat on a 100% full plane.
