The advice - and it is still only advice - is that everyone who arrives in Ireland from overseas self isolates. Taking a circuitous route via BHD doesn't change the fact that you have arrived into Ireland from overseas, nor does it mean that the advice is not applicable to such passengers.
Travelling via NI in this manner merely means that you avoid having to fill out the now mandatory Passenger Locator Form. It doesn't mean you are not required to self-isolate.
I am not aware of a widespread movement of people travelling in such a route specifically to consider themselves as not having to self-isolate. Do you think this is currently a problem?
