Chances are high that they'll find out the awful truth and charge NA prices. If they're kindly, they'll find a way to complete the payment in Japan, and call that good enough for Japanese prices.
As Viajero mentioned in his reply, I was able to do just this, and if memory serves so have others been able to (Gardyloo?). I set up the 16-segment ex-NRT AONE4 using the AA RTW desk, then called AA in Tokyo who took my credit card number and issued the ticket a few minutes later. Completely painless.
