the only way around is to have all sectors in one booking, one PNR record.
But I have traveled on separate records several times in the past. At that time BA OLCI was either not available or I had the tatus to get a good seat without OLCI. AA gave me both boarding passes and my luggage went through. On the way back, BA gave me both boarding passes as well, although of course AA later replaced one with its own.

In short, if you are connecting from AA to BA do not OCLI on for the BA leg. You cannot OCLI for the AA anyway and then you are at the mercy of an intelligent AA check-in agent.
Hmm, that's what I was suspecting. But not doing OLCI on BA is not an option these days because I don't have high enough status to get advance seat assignments, and would be stuck in a middle seat.
