yes this is inevitable since the BA PNR is not the one for the operating airline, seat maps and seat selection should be done via the operating airline PNR which in this case is the QR one. the codeshare PNR (in this case the BA one) often may not reflect correct seat maps or seat selection, but that isn't something to be worried about.
what QR shows as booking class is not really relevant, they are not the marketing airline and neither are they the ticketing airine. it is BA who would be awarding points based on the fare class they show in BA MMB.
