If I call up to reschedule the return flights (keeping it all within a day or two of the original times), should BA allow me to book an F flight back from JFK, rather than BOS, and change the routing to SFO-LAX-JFK-LHR-GLA, given that BOS is within the 300 mile rule from JFK? I don't want to drop the 40TPs on the return journey, hence the insertion of the LAX leg, but could live with losing it if I had to?
Yes, but maybe do it in say mid January? That way AA' won't be changing their flights quite so often. The 300 mile rule relates to changing gateway, which you aren't doing, you are rerouting and the restriction there would be Maximum Permited Mileage (MPM). And your new proposal won't affect that. If you're only doing it for the TPs then there are easier ways to get 40 TPs, and you increase uncertainty when you add complexity.
