Therefore I'm now less likely to participate in this sale, no matter how tempting it is.
I wouldn't believe anything said by the BA Twitter team who are not wise to much BAEC related (see the Silver/Gold Exit seats thread) and often just make up complete nonsense.
However as the information is clearly displayed on ba.com I would not book an R class fare on QR before 1st May if I was hoping for TPs/Avios.
