BA explicitly state you may claim a seat refund in event of paying for an upgrade, and my understanding is that "paying" includes using Avios

See the section on refunds, and note also the section on when you can't claim such refunds (upgrades using Avios is absent from this list). There is a form here to apply for the refund:
