Ah, you are right... this is solely a limitation of the option syntax parsing. You can do exactly the same (but working) like this:

./john --single --external=AutoStatus hashes.txt
./john --wordlist --rules --external=AutoStatus hashes.txt
./john --incremental --external=AutoStatus hashes.txt

...except for the caveat that AutoStatus/AutoAbort/variants will start counting from zero each time. Similar to Matt's recent post, you could edit john.conf and insert the start value between each run but it's not exactly elegant.
