Not having all your BPs when setting off on a multi-day journey is one thing (I've had to collect BPs during transit in LHR and SIN, for instance) - checking bags through is usually possible even if BPs can't be issued as the baggage checking/tagging systems don't care if not all flights are open for check-in.
Where does this leave us with "connection protection on separate tickets" though? Having to check in an empty box?
