I think it is a Oneworld requirement. I remember AA going through some painful changes in booking codes about 5 years ago that made very little sense except that it matched up to other OW airline usage. However AA does use A as both an upgrade and revenue class (which causes considerable grief on AA's system).
JL cannot just change the booking code on existing tickets as some of them are paper and not easily changed. Maybe time to buy some JL economy tickets in A and see if they turn into F seats.
