So the flight we are considering is indeed operated by AA which clearly meets the requirement if I take it literally. But I also know that people seem to have varying experiences with Flagship Check-In rules not always being honored and I'm a little concerned the BA flight number might throw a wrench in this situation.

Does anyone have recent experience with this scenario?

If you're on AA metal as one of The Platinums (OWE), I don't foresee you having a problem. Code shouldn't matter.
