I am curious, did the out station team explain the basis for their considering that re-booking a J passenger into Y constituted re-routing the passengers under "comparable transport conditions, to their final destination at the earliest opportunity"?
Or am I missing something?

There are carve outs for things exactly like this scenario - they are pretty narrow but workable

When an aircraft went tech in Luanda back when it was the most expensive city in the world, BA would put passengers in the Alvalade (4*) which was typically $400 a night. J and F pax would sometimes get the Talatona Convention Center hotel or Epic Sana (supposed 5* hotels) which were typically $550-600 although I think BA would have had good discount at Talatona as was crew hotel. Angolans would typically get sent home as would be originating their trips rather than on return sector
So I think there is some leeway.... Back then £200 would not get you much hotel wise..

and don’t give up on Maldives yet uncle T! Slightly more expensive than Carribean holidays but you can find good all inclusive holidays to Maldives. If you like the sea, snorkelling and good food and drink. Perfect relaxation on ‘one resort’ only islands. No cars, no hassle, just relax. … just book BA flights and get better accommodation prices by contacting Maldives holiday specialists. Unfortunately BA holiday can’t match the Maldives specialist’s prices. If you have the new 241 Amex voucher spare, it’ll be easier to book now and even cheaper!

It seems like at the end of every year we have one of these flights you just have to track, even though you have no one you know on the flight.
