I have the same issue ... I made a BA booking using AS miles two days ago. My AS number (I am MVP gold) is in the BA reservation but BA does not appear to recognize my status and wants to charge me to select seats.

Only other thing I can think of is that I made this booking and applied my AS number before I qualified for Sapphire status, so maybe I need to remove and re-apply although I don't see a way to do that
