Call back. But I think the real problem is that all of CX's published BOS -> KUL fares are constructed instead of through fares. AA telephone agents often give the wrong reason for why a desired award itinerary is correctly denied. Perhaps if you began the award in ORD, the itinerary would be approved.

Is this valid on CX / AA? HKG-JFK (stopover) - DEN? CX website shows all flights to Denver go through LAX or SFO.

Sorry for stupid question. So my last leg (free stopover) has to be anywhere in the N. American zone, right? I can't go to Europe?

You could have two free stopovers though. Asia - US gateway stopover - XXX and YYY - US gateway stopover - Europe.

You want to do HKG -> JFK (stopover) -> Europe? You cannot on one award.

"If I book BOS-ORD-HKG-XXX in F/J as appropriate, and availability later opens up JFK-HKG, I can switch with no fee, correct?"
You can switch BOS-ORD-HKG-XXX to BOS-JFK-HKG-XXX if award space opens up on both the BOS-JFK leg and the JFK-HKG leg. But if you only find space on the JFK-HKG leg, but not on the BOS-JFK leg, there would be a charge for changing the award's origin from BOS to JFK.
