There are few reports (and none recently that I can remember) of there being any real trouble with this.
However, if he is going to OLCI before going to the airport, it will be worth him selecting "Not sure" for the number of bags, so as not to impede the creation of a bag tag that is for LHR-HKG only. Selecting the wrong answer during OLCI is the only thing I can think of that's recently caused any problems, and that's only because the creation of redundant and unwanted bag tag records during OLCI has prevented the creation of new bag tag records without the system demanding payment for excess bags.
