The second, ICN-HKG in C on an A333, shows the seatmap for a 74E and will let me select a seat, but will not store it.
I have used the OLCI system successfully before, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Has anyone encountered anything similar before?
OLCI and seat pre-assignment are two different things even so Asiana uses the same interface for both.
With this system, there are a lot of restrictions which make it difficult. Certain airports don't work, it doesn't work if the system things you need a visa etc. In case of your ICN-HKG flight the issue really might be a pending equipment change.
