Another issue to consider when connecting in Vietnam on separate tickets is that many citizenships require a visa to enter Vietnam and if you don't have one (and require one), the airlines should logically deny you boarding the 1st flight (to Vietnam) because in the booking (in their system), you just go to Vietnam. Showing an e-ticket for an onward flight is sometimes not enough. In your case (QR to QR), it might be easier to convince them as they can see everything in their system and they can even create a kind of link between the 2 PNRs
The visa scenario is easily handled by procuring an evisa ahead of time. The $12 (or whatever) it costs would be worthwhile even if it's never used.

The quick turn in SGN is the concern if the BP isn't in hand.
