While some may debate the likeliness of someone of that status flying in the lowest cabin class until cows come home, it doesn't remove the possibility of that potential friction point. I think BA should board highest cabin and highest status together and then progress down cabins+tiers accordingly.
As a traveller with a "mixed cabin" profile, I'd agree with this. ^

Something like

Long Haul
F/GGL
J/GCH
W/SCH
Y/BCH

Short Haul
J/GGL/GCH
SCH/BCH
Y, no status

Actually, I'd remove the privilege for BCH
