This isn't strictly true, as some GDS systems aren't capable of revalidating and so always reissue. A reval would probably work in your favour, if it can be done, as the tkt date of issue would still be July, whereas what would happen with Avios earnings after a reissue is an unknown at this point. There should be a way for BA to determine which earning method to apply, but there will probably be some mistakes when the changeover happens, that you'd have to follow up on and request re-consideration. We don't know yet though.
