all said.. family of four, all assigned, all flights, no fees.

CHEERS!
OP was also caught by the BA dynamic pricing, reserving/paying for seats during booking is $nnn . If you then go back in 2mins after booking ones tickets, the seat reservation $nnn fee is now alas increased.

Waiting longer until nearer booking means the worse dynamic pricing cuts in and seat rservation rates increase further.

In this case OP got a result, but a very rare win in the current BA climate of total disinterest in being fair to passengers.
