This may happen so long as you have a 4 class aircraft on the route. They also operate 2 class aircraft without F seats. But that's not all, they substitute aircraft when you least expect it.
My suggestion is to choose a seat that is relevant to both aircraft layouts (eg 2A or 1K). I had a similar seat allocated in a 4 class bird and it was swapped to the same seat number when QF subbed a 2 class aircraft.
