Seat selection for BA Avios booked SAAver award on AA

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just booked a MileSaaver award for an AA flight on BA.com. Once I associated my AA FF details with the booking, I went to choose my seats and noticed there is scarce availability- about 10 economy seats to choose from and no premium economy to speak of. When I go to book the same award flight through AA, suddenly tons of seats become available and ExpertFlyer shows massive availability.

I know AA limits availability and it can open up as departure date nears, but I have never encountered this type of discrepancy.

Does AA limit seat choices for flights on their metal but booked via partners?

EDIT: to clarify, it is a domestic award booked with Avios on AA metal.
