It's not really surprising at all, it matches lounge access rules for UA MileagePlus members and other *A partner members. If VA customers got lounge access on UA domestic flights, then that would be an anaomoly making VA status more valuable than UA status on UA flights.
Though that's always been strange for QF/BA (and others) flying AA - and to make it worse even getting access to the Flagship lounge on a domestic flight - something that AA elites with paid AC membership can't get.
Edit - yes, what @exceladdict said.
