Basically, from what I have seen, travel agents can't guarantee fares and only way to know whenGUF has been applied is that it disappears from the account.

Not sure how much recourse you will have here, but TA is likely not at fault, I would ask BA if anything...
According to the TA, BA approved the GUF the same day as the reservation and the GUF disappeared from my account that day.
