I just did this with a little over 1000 points about to expire in June. Right now BA Avios are getting 2x bonus, which makes them the same as IB Avios (1 Accor->1 Avios). Given that you can get a flight with just 4500 Avios, this might be the best way to clean out the account.

I don't know BA policy about this, for sure a couple of weeks ago i had some problem transferring my miles to CX, anyway last week i went to an Accor hotel and conversion worked fine so i assume things got fixed now.
4000 points anyway sounds strange, i know other hotels chain which needs a minimium for transfer miles but Accor should have no minimium.

Note that the web page says you have to enable autoconversion first...
