In this BA-published document outlining the benefits of the JBA that was posted to the BA Press site back in early October 2010, the following statement is clearly made:

For the first time oneworld Emerald cardholders will have access to the British Airways Galleries Arrivals lounge at London Heathrow Terminal 5 and the American Airlines arrivals lounge at London Heathrow Terminal 3 when they travel on an AA or BA transatlantic flight, no matter in which cabin they fly.
At no time since the JBA launched, however, has the BA website been updated to reflect this. As noted above, AA's site has been updated, so until BA get round to updating their site (and, hopefully, their staff), we'll be living in limbo for a while (unless you want to print the above-reference document and try to use it to get in--that's well beyond what I'd be willing to do but I've heard crazier stories!).
