Any idea when AA might be notified of the cancellation?
It usually takes 2-3 days for AA to catch up with BA cancellations.
Until the AA system shows the BA flights as cancelled, your changes would not be considered as involuntary so the agents were right.
Also, you have booked with AA so you have to deal with AA. BA has nothing to do here.
