Putting ~$* into SyncIgnore seems to have fixed the issue, though a global resolution method would be nice.

Is there a convenient way to tell BT Sync to ignore temp office files? I suppose it would be possible to add a wildcard for ~$ filenames, but wouldn't this then need to be included in the Syncignore of every folder? The reason I ask is that it seems to be causing a minor bug in BT Sync, where it will create a .sync for the temp file. However, when the actual office document is closed and the ~$ temp file is removed, the .sync for the temp file persists, and it continues to attempt to transfer the now defunct file. My in progress transfers screen is clogged with these non-existent files.

I accidentally put my Outlook pst into my synced folder a few days ago, and was planning to move it out. Unfortunately, in the mean time it has been deleted - I assume by BT Sync. I know these files are normally supposed to be moved to the .SyncTrash after deletion, but it is nowhere to be found. I've had this happen once or twice before with less important files, so I thought it was worth mentioning. Perhaps there's a bug causing it, perhaps it's user error. I've resigned myself to the loss of the file - it was all over 3 months old anyway, but perhaps take it as a word of caution.
