Refused entry at Gare du Nord due to stolen BRP

Does this “encounter” constitute “refusal of entry”?

Yes.

Does this mean I have to declare it from now on in all visa applications?

Only if asked. Many countries do not ask about refusals of entry to other countries.

If you are asked and decide not to mention it because it’s not a serious refusal, or for whatever reason, you run the risk of being found deceptive, and that usually results in a ban.

How serious is this?

Not very. The reason for the refusal does not suggest that you are likely to be an immigration risk.

Is there any way for me to mitigate any adverse effects, now that this has happened?

If you’re ever asked about this, explain what happened. Keep the refusal letter so you can submit a copy with future visa applications that ask about refused entry, especially if the letter notes that you are a legal resident of the UK who merely lacked the BRP. The police report of the document theft may be a good thing to include as well.
