Just to be clear. Under US law, the baggage allowance for a ticket originating or terminating in the US is the allowance for the marketing carrier of the first segment. US law would apply here as this is a BOS departure. Thus, the AA allowance for BE.
OP can confirm all of this by looking at his e-ticket receipt. US law also requires that it display the allowance as well as the fees, if any, for the first and second checked bags.

You should check your e-ticket receipt and what it lists as the baggage allowance. AA's allowance is zero bags for BE fares, but AA waives the bag fees for OW elites on AA operated flights. If your OWS allowance on AA flights somehow found its way onto the ticket and became the ticketed allowance you have a case as BA will have to honour the ticketed allowance.
