BA has a (totally undocumented) ticketing deadline of approx. three weeks for tickets that they consider to be "high risk". So, regardless of there being no advance purchase restrictions on a fare rule, BA can and will cancel a reservation if the ticket numbers are not on the PNR within three weeks of reservation.

I actually wish that this rule existed for other airlines as well. 'A' inventory is scarce enough without imaginary bookings.

It wasn't three weeks... it was three days.
