Why was I charged a $25 check-in baggage fee for the IAD-DTW (US Airways) leg of this itinerary?

US Airways has the rule that you get a free bag on international flights, but not on domestic flights. You will also get a free bag on domestic flights that happen within 23 hours after an international one. Since before your last leg, there is a break of >24h, you got charged for the first bag.

That explains why you had to pay for the last leg. Why you did not have to pay for the first leg is not clear to me, but there may be many reasons (ticket booked a long time ago when rules were different, AA has different rules in general, does or did not have the 23h rule, etc ...).
