if u have united miles or way to transfer miles there, believe me if I say that .bomb has bizarre routing to say the least ..... via Entebbe, Luanda, Harare, Ndola, Nairobi..... I was so impressed how genial .bomb can be ..... even MIL-ADD-FCO-CAI-JNB (in this precise sequence).

Three more days have passed and BA hasn't said a word on this. I'm starting to think that it's now safe to assume that the flash-sale tickets will be honoured.

"Flash-sale" LOL. Looks like this mistake fare is finally going to be one that sticks...makes me extra cranky that I need to cancel mine.

Changing your ticket normally always involve fare change, too. Even fully flexible ticket typically just means you can change anytime without fee, but it doesn't mean no repricing.

I'm flying JNB to BCN and back two hours later. Unfortunately I have luggage to check since this is part of a bigger trip.
At JNB, can I check in my luggage all the way back to JNB or only to BCN? If only BCN and a flight is late an I miss check-in in BCN, am I covered since this is one itinerary or am I out of luck? Would it make sense to store my luggage in JNB instead?

Wouldn't the same aircraft flying you LHR-BCN be the same aircraft taking you back from BCN to LHR if you have a 2hr turn? So if the inbound is late, then the outbound would also be late?
I still agree with just storing your bag at your hotel in JNB or luggage storage office.

Usual is between 40-50 mins, but there are a few slightly longer ones around of 60 mins. Absolutely agree tho, 2 hr difference wouldn't be the same aircraft - you can always check by looking at the last few days of flights on flightradar24 and checking registrations.
