If you booked from the Finnair website but under an AA flight number, is that so? Anyway it shouldn't really matter, usually the OLCI is pretty good at finding codeshare bookings etc. - as is the case for you since you can actually get to the seat selection.
Maybe there's a note in your PNR or something like that that makes it impossible for the OLCI to work. You could try giving their web support (they have one, don't they?) a call.

Seatguru does not show the same config and only lists them as standard.
The fuselage is narrower back there, so the middle block only has three seats instead of four. It looks like it's a feature of the AY OLCI application that it cannot properly align the columns and display three seats on a block that has also four seats on other rows. Thus they just leave the place for one seat blank and end up with the result you described. No, there won't be a "middle aisle" seat - even though that would be a very interesting to have!
