Sometimes when Economy Class on a flight is booked over capacity and First Class is not, we'll withdraw some First Class inventory from sale to reduce the chances of an oversale. This only happens in rare occasions, like on a date when our bookings are exceptionally high. We'll be sure to update our "blocked seats" FAQ with this information.
Since tomorrow's CO647 is not close to being overbooked, I think that the other explanation (possible aircraft swap) makes more sense in this case.
