I believe the op is referring to flights in August and not September.
This seat map does suggest that the flight in J is overbooked, and BA still willing to sell 2 more seats!
There could be a last minute sub to a 789- this happened to me once when I flew from MSY-LHR.
Please let us know what happens when you check in.
