You're probably right- that explanation makes sense, it's the same as DL- accounts are zeroed out on January 1, but status continues until Feb. 28.

Unfortunately, AZ states that the status itself expires on Dec. 31. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

I would think bonus mileage earning would have the same dates as every other benefit of status, meaning hte end of March on AF. I doubt they would slice and dice the benefits, to expire different benefits on different dates.
