Firstly BA hate paying up on downgrades and tend to reach a cash settlement somewhere in the middle after much prevarication. However there is nothing to prevent them from refunding the requisite Avios as part of the agreed outcome, plus cash for the money side of the redemption, and it does sometimes happen.
