My wife and I are probably going to take BA up on its Mastercard Free upgrade on one leg offer shortly. We were planning to use QFF points to upgrade the OTHER leg of the journey. Having read this on the one-world site:
Can I use my frequent flyer points/miles to upgrade within oneworld?
Some of our members allow customers of their frequent flyer programme to upgrade on flights operated by that member. However, there is no policy within oneworld allowing customers of one member's programme to upgrade on flights operated by another member.
I thought it would be easy. Spoke to BA- they seemed fine about it. Spoke to QF and, well, how dare I even consider such a thing. Oh, and it cannot possibly be done. Cannot use QFF points to upgrade on another carrier, regardless of OneWorld status.
Has anyone successfully used QFF points in this manner? Is the information I'm getting correct?

QF points can only be used to upgrade a QF flight number on a QF aircraft. QF points cannot be used on codeshares or non QF aircraft.

But even a one way upgrade is not guaranteed - you like everyone else is playing "The International Upgrade Lottery" ("IUL" for short). Good luck with that - let us know how you go.
i think you will find that smart86 is getting a special offer which appears to guarantee the one way upgrade, i.e. it is not a points request. Maybe I read the thread wrong though??

Is this a Mastercard only promotion? I'm sure I've seen the same thing advertised by one or other travel agent on the bottom of the Sydney Morning Herald (one way upgrade: Y -> Y+, Y+ -> J, J -> F) when booking a return trip.
