Yes, that happened. It also happened when BA started announcing that fares ex-Poland were priced in PLN instead of USD (around 16-18 months ago) that converted to way, way higher prices than were shown on the then-current starfile. AA's RTW desk kept quoting the lower USD fares, and one or more FTers managed to purchase tix through AA's GSA in WAW, TAL Aviation. Then in April/May last year the starfile fares showed up in PLN (at the level stated by BA) and that was that for WAW.

I've also tried communicating with a couple of TAs in Sofia to see if they speak Oneworld. No replies yet.
