If BA don't have an official line here then people are going to keep bumping into this nebulous will they/won't they gamble. In my case it'll only cost me 40 TPs and a handful of Avios, but on a more complex reroute it could completely derail your status qualification - and all not at your own fault.
The official line is that what is in the Terms and Conditions; there is nothing in there ( that I found ) that supports an entitlement to credit in such a situation
Would seem to be best to take an assumption, based on the T&Cs, that such credit will not be forthcoming when making such a routing change and accept any credit as a bonus
You could collect to AA or AS ( and potentially other schemes ) of course
