How much help you get seems to depend on how busy the airline is that day (so it can become a reissue).

I flew on a AONE3 segment two weeks ago where I changed the carrier after initial ticket issue, and did so without a reissue. The other OW carrier lifted the electronic segment from the ticket just fine.
