If I had to guess, the thought process is along the lines of - "no one in DFW is going to another airline, so if they can't get their fare sometimes, meh, they'll be back. People connecting could have connected in ATL or IAH, so let's throw them something."
I guess that's the whole point of married segments, but the way AA is managing them seems....confused (or someone knows about someone else in GRU about to make a move). Either way, I don't work in RM/IM/YM, so my thoughts are worth less than the electrons that brought them to your eyes.

I had this same issue trying to book a PE ticket DFW-LHR last October. W0 P0 on all flights to LHR ex-DFW. But when I put in AUS-DFW-LHR, or any other variety of options, it was W7 P7. Weird.

Not really directly related to DFW-LHR but more generally to the comment about "overzealous" RM folks. AUS-DFW-DUB in J is around $3,100 round trip in July, but SFO-DFW-DUB is $4,890 round trip. Two of us are flying from AUS and a third from SFO. At those prices I am about to book all three from AUS and just get a separate SFO-AUS trip. Seems ridiculous.
It's not like SF is unusually full of people with Irish ancestors clamoring to visit the old country.

Note that this can also work the other way around. On May 3 LHR-PHX is I7 and W7, but LHR-PHX-MFR is I0 and W3. Yet both flights are wide open in terms of seats assigned.

I was #3 on the list and it looked like I'd be sitting in the back when they cleared 7 of us at the gate.
I have no idea why they would zero out the flight. It's a 789, so it doesnt have the multiple J configuration issue of the 788 and 772.
