I'm retracting this confirmation since I have received a further message from DiamondClubQueries that would indicate the situation is being looked at seriously. Hopefully there will be an updated position on the website in due course (which reverts to the original refund position for UK members at least). Hopefully the flurry of concern here has prompted BA to consider the situation carefully.

NO DC award bookings can be cancelled after 31 Dec 2012. No cash or miles refunds after 31 Dec 2012 for anyone.
This is a bit annoying as I specifically booked mine knowing I might need to cancel it - but will now need to cancel anyway as I wont be sure by 31 Dec.
edit: I presume tickets fall into the non-refunable category after 31 Dec - but in theory that should still mean government taxes are refunded.
