All good, I thought: after a day or so delay and some 'fiddling about' with the seat selector system on the IB website, my trip did actually appear in my BAEC account (but with a different locator code - nothing strange there).
That's been a problem for a long time, since this would still have been a codeshare, only it would be IB that owns the ticket and IB awards the TPs (eventually) and the systems have long worked badly in this area. IB on IB metal would have processed fairly quickly, usually.
