Right, hmm. From the text of the OP, I read the following:
- Door opens, MoMF steps inside, meets BP.
- MoMF does something that provokes.
- BP does not make AoO (saves it for later, cause of high MoMF AC).
- Warlock eldritch blasts BP.
- Using EB provokes (SLA).
- Pudding AoOs warlock.
- OP's question arises.
All these questions confused me about why I thought the BP was AoOing, but I knew it made sense somewhere...

Yep yep, my bad.

This is a silly argument in this context, because the same applies to squares. However, a close reading of the rules on page 150-151 of the PHB does suggest you could grant yourself soft cover at all times. Pretty nifty!
