Appears the restriction isn’t limited to just intra-US flights, but also applies to codeshares in the Western Hemisphere without a connecting flight from Europe. Am I missing anything? Sounds like I might have to fly to Europe one weekend…
Sounds like you aren't looking at purchasing a RTW ticket but are merely looking for standalone BA codeshare flights in the US. I don't believe your search will be successful as BA codeshares within the US have typically required a BA transatlantic flight. Other than some BA flights between islands in the Caribbean you will probably have to do a transatlantic.
You may want to look at these threads in the BA forum that are more relevant to your query:
