Arrow Checking in for a *A trip when first segment is non-*A

Has anyone flown internationally on a trip where the first segment is not *A, but the other segments are? What were the pitfalls?
I'm flying MNL-NRT-ORD-MSP on JAL/UAL. The first segment is on JAL then the rest is on UAL. Is there a way to get priority baggage handling in MNL (I'm Premier Executive) for the majority of my trip? I'm sure I'll get a bad seat on JAL as I hold no status with them. How about boarding passes, will I get them for the entire journey in MNL or will I have to wait until arrival at NRT?
