Yeah, I forget the thread/details since it from long ago, but there was a reliably reproduceable way to use Google Flights to both bypass BE warnings and also get a seat assignment on a BE fare like this.
This was definitely a website bug where it did not force BE restrictions or warn you, despite the fact that it was a BE fare.
