I have had this happen twice and I think I may have written about it upstream.

First time z4 I booked one via phone and within 30 min AS.com showed 0 F.

Second time z4 I booked one online while simultaneously calling to change first ticket to this flight. 30 min later AS.com showed 0 F.

I didn't explore to see if it was just online not displaying anymore, but I suspect booking one F seat really hurts the visibility of potential availability online.

Was a stressful waiting process (SPG transfer) for just this reason, but all's well that ends well.
