It might just be the 777-300ER + A350 seats that have this problem. A380 or some other aircraft variants may not have the issue (I only fly Suite when on A380, so I am not familiar with the J product on the A380). But unfortunately it really makes no sense to me to have to angle the legs when reclining steeply - it's uncomfortable.
In fact though if you only have 'a bit of a recline' and 'flat bed', you'd not notice this issue. It's only when you recline it quite a lot and run out of space to have your lower legs/feet in front of you that it becomes an issue.
Still, if BA announced a non-SYD Australian destination and had on-board wifi, I'd go for CW in preference to SQ with those seats.
