No, staff are not "willing overriding TS", TS will have decided the middle on the exit row are the best available at some point and will unblock them in preference to other middle seats.
There are reports earlier in the thread that TS may be looking at people trying to game the system, taking window and aisle and leaving the middle empty rather than choosing seats together and leaving the window or aisle empty.

Next time I will book 2 aisle seats then and see what happens.
Incidentally, I do not think TS is intelligent enough to notice us "gaming the system". Apart from this being BA IT, myself and Mrs Tafflyer have been on separate bookings where the middle seat between us got unblocked ahead of other seats. I rather suspect somebody asking gate staff for an exit row seat and getting it assigned without any problems.
