They are selling you DBV-LGW + LHR-BLQ though, not DBV-BLQ which needed in order for this to be a single award.
I understand trying to stick with oneworld and all, but in this case it doesn't make any sense. On *A there's lots of decent 5-6 hr. options via FRA/MUC/VIE for sub $200. Compared to 12+ hrs backtracking on BA not to mention the LGW/LHR transfer (and paying 2 awards it appears) this is a no brainer, seems like a huge hassle and waste of time to save $150.
