Actually, it says contradictory things, depending on what part you are
reading. IANAL, but if an attempt were made to enforce the "must fly both
segments" clause, I believe it would be ruled unenforceable.
That's a different result from the anti-back-to-back-ticketing cases,
because in those cases the airline is recovering what it asserts is a
mispricing due to the agent's misrepresentation of the customer's travel
plans.
If the airline doesn't back down, and brings the case to court, it will cost
both the airline and the customer far more in legal expenses and lost time
than the ticket is worth, so it is unlikely to ever be ruled on by a court.
Legal cost is the implicit threat the airlines have generally used. But so
far, the airline, rather than risk having a court actually rule against
them, has always backed down.
