The "BA lounge for BA flights" access is generally covered by
http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...lobal/en#jump1 but that's now woefully out of date.
However, I note the footnote to this:
*** Marketed and operated means a flight operated by the same airline whose flight number appears on your ticket. Includes American Airlines® or British Airways operated flights with a 'QF' flight number on your ticket.
So this seems to indicate that "sold by QF, operated by BA"
does qualify for access. And it makes the OP's experience more puzzling than ever.
