Some of your question has been answered by
Blumie's quoted text from AA:
In addition, American will enhance its lounge admittance policy in conjunction with the opening of the new Flagship Lounge® and second Admirals Club® lounge at the new JFK terminal by summer 2007. First Class passengers flying on transcontinental routes on three-class aircraft will have access to American’s Flagship Lounges, usually reserved for international premium class customers. In addition, Business Class passengers traveling on transcontinental routes on three-class aircraft will have access to American’s Admirals Club lounges.
I suspect only purchased or award tickets for tJ or F cabin will be allowed Admirals Club / Flagship Lounge admittance - it would make it more coherent with today's policy. (= Not upgraded passengers.)

So it seems AA has issued a press release allowing business class transcons access to the AC, but when was this effective? Also, does this allow upgrades to J access as well?
And I just checked aa.com and it still has no mention. I am kicking myself because if this new policy is already in effect, I flew transcon J 2 weeks ago and had no idea, sitting instead in a ridiculously crowded gate area at LAX for 2 hours.
