Until a few minutes ago I had my BTC stored across bitstamp and kraken. I have just transferred all my remaining BTCs to kraken so I'll get whatever quantity of BCC i am due after the fork. Even if it's a very small quantity owing to a small number of miners switching to the BCC code, it doesn't seem fair that bitstamp would simply pocket the value (if my understanding is correct)

The amount of BCC you will get is exactly equal to the amount of BTC you have. If you have 1 btc, after the fork will have 1 bcc and 1 btc. It doesn't matter how many miners support either chain.
Best advice is usually not to hold it on an exchange however. Withdraw it to a personal wallet you control. That way you will have the most control over what happens after the fork.
