Appreciate the sleuthing AZT.
I did call the EP desk and got a fairly disenthused agent response that he had no alternative ways to search on BA award availability and that "awards are subject to supply/demand...blah, blah, blah" and he had no contact person to check with. I couldn't even get him to engage in any level of conjecture that the scenario does seem odd...that multiple flights with multiple BC and PE seat availability for weeks would seemingly get sold out in 24 hours.
