So why is it an issue when it involves AFII, but not at any other time?

Sounds like a pretty routine TCAS RA. If AF2 was at "about 7500" then it was probably descending. I'd guess the ATC facility sent a report because they have higher separation standards for AF 1&2. They certainly do for 1 and I'd guess 2 as well.
