I agree that it does not appear to be published now which is why I did post as I did
Since the poster was referring to the AA agent mentioning it, I was presuming that the AA agent was referring to the AA mileage upgrade rules rather than BA's mileage upgrade rules
AA says there is such a rule and refuses to upgrade BA segments on RTW tickets. BAEC also says there is such a rule and refused to upgrade a BA segment using Avios. The AA RTW agent seems to feel this applies to all carriers' segments aside from AA segments.

CX/AM seem unable or unwilling to do so.
