The bottom line: there better be a safety-related reason to return to LAX over PANC.
Huck, if you had fully read and understood my post, you would see that the information from the Boeing FCTM refers to is what they call Guidance Material. I don't know exactly what this guidance material is, but I think that it is safe to assume that it comes from the FAA. It has nothing to do with Boeing or Embraer.
Once again, I have difficulty believing that someone going 25 miles to an airport from FL250 is not going to a nearest suitable airport in time. I suspect that there is more to the story. But, you never know what a regulating authority might do. They tried to ground Bob Hoover many years back.
