I too was flummoxed by this problem when I first booked an IB flight with BA Avios. Others have already posted the reason why, timing of seats availability.
The good news is that, if you calculate the dates/time correctly you can plan to go into MMB
exactly at the right time to get your best chance of the seats you want.
