On a number flights I have checked beforehand on the BA booking, and sure enough, full tier points come up - 70 for transatlantic and 20 for European short haul. However, the TP are only credited at the discounted rate (35/10). Why?
For AA flights only Y and B are considered full-fare economy for purposes of earning avios and tier points. H is listed with the discount economy classes and so only earns 35 TPs.

When flights post in the Y/H format, the Y is not a selling class but merely indicates you were in coach. H is the selling/booking class and determines the avios and TPs you are eligible to receive.
Edited to add:
Oops, it appears you are referring to a BA codeshare of an AA flight with the BA booking class being H. Sorry, in that case I believe you should earn according to the BA table. You should fill claim missing avios under your account or give BAEC a call.
BA prefix, oneworld partner operated flight
You earn Avios and Tier Points for a BA flight as per ba.com
