You are quite correct in your analysis. However, I sat down just as the hands were turned over. In a second, I registered the pot size ($126!!!!!!!!) and the hands.
In your analysis discarding KQA prevents a straight flush when there are fewer than five players as was the case but vulnerable to a straight flush when the table is five-handed. Sure, the discards are important but a $126 pot comes about by serious overbetting unless the exact situation you described occurred. But that only makes the winner's play rational. There should have been a point where 9999x should have realized something was amiss.
As I was not seated at the beginning of the deal, I do not have access to the hand history so I cannot check discards.
As a side note, your AAAA did not have the protection against a striaght flush that TTTTJ having discarded QKA at a table of four or less players had.
If you are interested, here is a related discussion concerning regular five-card draw.
See Whole Thread (Especially Last Post).
The whole uncapped raises heads up business is a double-edged sword.
But $126 is a helluva pot size for an 7A draw hand at $2/$4.
