When it comes to this, ignore the fact that it is the same plane; just consider them as 3 discrete flights

A-B
B-C
A-C

Each flight has its own inventory.

You may be right for LHR-SIN-SYD, but I thought that BA could not sell tickets for GRU-EZE or GRU-GIG.

ONLY LHR-GRU, LHR-EZE and LHR-GIG.

In this case I think it is protection for fare paying stop overs - either people who stopover in GRU anyway or who have got the LHR to GIG flight and have to wait a day for a connection.
