All-in with AA preflop and getting equity-crushed?!?!?

LJ: $1317
HJ: $894.17 (Hero)
CO: $639
BN: $600
SB: $1401.35
BB: $717.98
UTG: $1734.40
Preflop ($9.00) (7 Players)
Hero was dealt A A T 2
UTG calls $6, LJ folds, Hero raises to $27, BN folds, SB calls $24, BB raises to $108, UTG folds, Hero raises to $348, SB calls $348, SB calls $519.17
Flop ($1389.17) 8 8 7 (4 Players)
Turn ($1389.17) 2 (4 Players)
River ($1389.17) T (4 Players)
Final Pot
Hero has A A T 2 SB has 8 T J Q BB has A 5 A 3 SB wins $2156.94 , SB wins $352.38

As it turns out, my AAT2rb has 15% equity preflop (!!), so shoving AA costs me $400 in EV (AA53ds has 38% and QJT8ds has 47%), that is, shoving AAxx preflop with 150bb costs me almost half my stack!

Is this just a mathematical anomaly which occurs rarely enough to be ignored, or should a different play than shoving preflop be considered? Both blinds are TAGgy regs and BB is defo capable of squeezing.
