Hello Harry,

     If you carefully look at the page from Belvalkar's edition of the BG,
he uses the Avagraha in वासुदेवोऽस्मि, but not in तेजोंशसम्भवम्. His logic
seems to be that there should be an Avagraha between separate Padas, but
not within a single compound.  Gambhirananda does not seem to make this
distinction.
