Seat reservations are the responsibility of the operating carrier and can be done on the operating carrier's website for each sector individually.

If they are on BA metal, but under a different codeshare, then you may have a bit of an argument with the computer to get the seats, but at worse you can obtain seat reservations by telephone. Your silver status will apply, but there can be bugs in communicating between the carriers.
Thanks for the response. I guess I just need to take the plunge, book (AA now quoting £1,068!) and contact BA to sort out seats. Actually where I sit is the least of my worries. Getting to and from Dublin, plus making sure our luggage doesn't travel to Bucharest on the final leg is of far greater concern
