To clarify:
It is one way ticket.
Ticket issued by TA, not AC.
Ticket issued to SAW because of TA award pricing error, which is now fixed.
I need to go to LHR.
Impossible connection is LH-TK in FRA.
I don't want to call TA because they may cancel the ticket, or reprice it to correct mileage, or reroute me away from LHR.
My worry is that AC will deny me boarding in Canada.
What will likely happen at AC check in? Will AC transport me to LHR on this ticket as is?

There is a reasonable chance your ticket will be changed, to account for the problem you have identified, and they will tell your TA and your TA will fail to tell you.

TA is the airline code for issuing carrier here. It is lifemiles award ticket.

MCTs and the like are binding on the issuing airline or its agents, not the passenger. Onus is on them to make it work. But the contract remains in place and you have not violated the conditions at your end.
But yes, I understand you have no interest in the final destination. You have nothing to worry. If anyone asks, answer is that you were unable to have them fix the issue and that you'll deal with it at FRA.
