It could be like the "no changes within 6 months on HHA" which is not enforced.
Seems like the agents require additional training.

As posted by The Saint and G-BOAC then confirmed by Leisurefirst it can be done for BAEC Gold members (& Emeralds).

Here a link to the BA web site that shows how is may be done:
Should a Premier or Gold Executive Club cardholder (& oneworld equivalent), or a family travelling with an Infant, request advance seating with someone booked on a separate PNR known as TCP (to complete party), please follow the guidelines below.

Also, from 07th October 2009, if a Premier or Gold Executive Club cardholder (& oneworld equivalent), requests advance seating in an emergency exit row with someone booked in the same PNR, please also follow the guidelines for inserting both the TCP and TOGT keywords below. ...
Here's further information:
