One thought: AS allows you to print your bag tags at home. Is there any reason you couldn't do that, attach the tags when picking up the bags at customs, and then drop them with the connecting bags?

Good point, although at the moment I can't recall where the transfer desk is? SFO say its outside the arrivals hall?! Stupidly I can picture it at LAX, DFW and SJC.
