I'd say it's safe to assume person who compiled eligibility list was an intern and did it with no knowledge / clue how alliances, frequent flyer statuses work. Main misconception can come from the fact that as Star Alliance elite you need to have at least *Gold to enter "Gold Track", lounges etc (with an exception to M&M Silver - or Frequent Traveller status). You apply same rule to non-Star Alliance airline and you end up with only BA Golds allowed to enter the fast track or lounge. One of those silly mistakes which usually takes a bit of effort to sort out.
