That's very interesting.
I recall trying to price up an itinerary with such a backtrack in the online tool, and failing.
I just now plugged this simple itinerary into the online tool:
LHR-DFW-HNL (surface) SFO-HKG-LHR

The tool said "Travel from North America to Hawaii and back is not permitted. Please select a different destination."
So I think you've had a win with AA fares team
