Thought it was strange, and got past it anyway as I booked WT+ each way. Looked on FT but didn't see anyone else reporting it, so just ignored it as a temporary website glitch.
BA have confirmed this is a bug, there is a thread somewhere on the forum about it. The work-around is to buy the flight, then change your seat via MMB ^
