I've been doing BRGs for ~8 yrs. I don't think this has been true in that time period. And I always preferred to submit my BRGs with a reservation (a cancelable one) as opposed to submitting without, and then making the reservation after the approval.
And BTW, Travel Zoo redirects to SPG website, so you cannot submit a BRG with a Travel Zoo rate.

Moral of the Story:
For a BRG Rate, always book the FLEXIBLE Rate.
Also covered in the wiki. But good idea to remind people.
