ET to CE - UUA on RFS booking

Acronym central.

I have a Reward Flight Saver Euro Traveler flight, that I would like to Upgrade Using Avios to Club Europe.

This page: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...ing-with-avios

States (red bold emphasis is mine):
  • Upgrade a cash booking to the next cabin wherever there's availability.
  • Upgrade on British Airways, Iberia and American Airlines flights.
  • Upgrade at the time of booking or upgrade an existing flight.
  • Upgrade one-way or return.
  • Avios upgrades are available on reward flights
The page directs me to the upgrade using Avios button in Manage My Booking... at which point I am told this:
We are sorry but redemption bookings cannot be upgraded using Avios.
Anyone got any idea which is true if I were to call up? These are Prague flights, so the upgrade on RFS is 4,750 + £7.50 each, so £35 each on top for a cancel/rebook would blow this out of the water.
