It seems valid since DOH would be the ticketed destination for an open jaw return - the destination of a ticket is never a transit point - you can only transit en-route to a destination/stopover point
Our ticket was LHR-DOH-VIE VIE-DOH-LHR. Under no circumstances were QR staff suggesting we were denied because of Doha transit/rules. I already submitted subject access request so will be able to share details of what the staff putin the PNR soon. But as i say cca 24 hours later, when I was chasing QR ticketing desk I got an email saying they now confirmed and I quote : Dear Mr Nufnuf,

We have now received a response and they have advised that travel will be possible.

You may go ahead and rebook through British Airways.
