As to why, let's presume it was the truth, BA called back and said..
1. Their agents have to price the exact itinerary on the RTW website first, and only if it gives a valid quote will they give it to ticketing (aka they can't work around bugs, or the lack of QF/CX availability)
2. They will no longer allow GUVs on RTW tickets (not written down as far as I can tell)

So that made my entire cunning plan redundant, and I'll revert back to better carriers than BA. Their loss, but hopefully AAs gain! (is there a list of the expectations for AA to ticket it and any other tips guide like when to call, and the number, somewhere?)
