I haven't seen any references from Bombardier that mention a higher cabin pressure, so I'd be surprised if that's the case.
One factor that may be swaying BA against the CSeries is the fact that its cabin is 17" narrower than the Airbus.
As for losing the fuel stop, I've yet to see the field performance and payload-range numbers showing that would be possible,
