If you want to err on the side of caution, the solution is simple. SYD-LAX is an AA codeshare, so re-book your flights using the AA flight number. (Sure, you'll miss out on your QF status credits... but they're of little use once you reach OW Sapphire anyway. It's best to stick with the one program.)
Even if there's a reticketing fee of a hundred bucks or so to "cancel" your Qantas flight and re-book it as an AA flight all the way from SYD to JFK, I'd opt for it. Better safe than sorry...
