Interesting.... But their computers do know about the codeshares, of course. My CX boarding pass reflects the actual CX number but also bears the notation "SOLD AS AA 1234".

Hang on a minute. The AA RTW desk (800-247-3247) is in the US. You can book the xONEx with them on the phone. When you're done, they queue the PNR to someplace in Ireland for itinerary verification and fare calculation and entry. You can then have it ticketed in South Africa by contacting AA's agent (Mindpearl) there. Note that Mindpearl is an agent, not an actual AA office.
