I'd say this was harmless if it didn't come with the frustrating inability to change your seat assignment. Suppose you're watching for a particular seat to open up, and you go to change it: the Web site will record the change, but the next time you come back, it shows "---" again (and if you get an agent to check the manifest, your old seat is still set there). I don't know the solution; maybe a phone agent can change it (though a couple I tried could not when it happened to me).
