There are a number of bugs in the system and no money is being spent to fix them, they seem to rely on the chat agents to do resolve problems. That said, given the Vueling is essentially a Low Cost Carrier, and uses Avios purely on an alternative revenue method, rather than redemption basis, it's not usually fruitful use of Avios.
For the Iberia / BA match, I'd imagine there is some creative way to live without a hyphen on both accounts? I can't see any real postal transaction happening in this space?
I transferred some BA avios to Vueling Club on Avios.com, but the value is indeed poor. The value is a bit better on IB (which is distance-based), so I am hoping to transfer points from BAEC to IB (or now, from Avios.com to IB).
I am not sure if IB has a live chat feature, but I will see if the chat agents on Avios.com can assist with this. Thanks.
