In practice, you will probably be ok, but in theory I suppose they could be hard-nosed about it.
Some time ago we had a fully paid 241 trip which we wanted to change - they processed it as a refund and re-booking - the refund went back to a closed amex account (which was easily solved by Amex) and BA happily took the additional taxes using another card. However, we have also had them specify that the card used had to be in the name of the voucher owner.
I think it is probably worth reading the Ts&Cs -

Which includes:
All Taxes, Fees and Charges must be paid for using the British Airways American Express Card.
and the slightly more wooly statement that:
15. Cardmembers must remain eligible for use of the Companion Voucher in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the British Airways Executive Club Terms and Conditions at the time of travel. British Airways and American Express reserve the right to refuse to issue or honour any Companion Voucher in the event that the Cardmember is in breach of the terms of the British Airways American Express Card or the British Airways Executive Club Membership.
