Well, when I was purchasing my RTW in CGK, I was told the same thing by the SQ, TG & UA offices. All 3 airlines were quite clear, adamant, and consistent about who gets to issue the ticket.
For your UA-issued ticket ex-BKK, was UA the carrier that took you over water on a transcontinental flight? If so, that'd explain why they issued it for you. (Same thing for the AC-issued ticket.) If not, there are obviously inconsistencies in how different markets have different rules or interpretation thereof.

I would agree with others about Japan being very cheap. All-in, with taxes and surcharges, my CRTWSTAR1 cost $7k CDN. It was cheaper to book it and then book another return ticket to NRT to start the trip than to book a RTW ex USA or ex Canada...
