...??? Flight BD 2805 operated by State Orenburg Aviation (R2)?

Hi All,
I've booked a VIE-LHR-ICN flight with ebookers.at. On the e-ticket the VIE-LHR flight shows as BMI, and LHR-ICN as Asiana. I believe the eticket as a whole is issued under Asiana (starts with 988...)

Now,

from my reseach and trying to select seats, I found out the VIE-LHR BMI flight BD2805 is a codeshare operated by Austrian.

The big surprise came, when I opened my booking in austrian.com and saw the following

From: Vienna
To: London/Heathrow
Departure: edit (local time)
Arrival: edit (local time)
Flight: BD 2805 State Orenburg Aviation (R2)
Status: Confirmed
Tariff: Economy flexible/T

Hmm, any idea how the State Orenburg Aviation (R2) got involved in all this? Is there something messed up with my eticket?

edit: called up Austrian and Asiana. They both can see the ticket in their systems, but did not notice/explain the Orenburg glitch
