AFAIK, BA won't "put it on hold".
If you're entitled to have it allocated to you, BA will allocate it to you, getting around the MMB bug. Then you can just OLCI or check-in at your convenience.
I'm not aware of any reports that suggest that if you're not entitled to have seat pre-allocation at that stage, BA will nevertheless "hold" it for you to prevent others grabbing it before OLCI opens.
