Flight Change w/o Notification?

SFO delays were bad on Thursday and Friday because of wind.
Booked on AS/SKW 3391 on Friday. Arrived at the airport and checked-in about two hours before departure. Agent tags my bag and gives me a boarding pass and I see that my seat has changed from 2A to 2F. Which initially made me cranky because I like the solo seat side on the E175.
Asked the agent if she had any solo seats on the A side of the plane and she looked a little puzzled and said no because the cabin is 2 and 2.
Looked more carefully at my BP and realized I had been rebooked on AS387, which departs prior to 3391.
The good news is that I got home 90 minutes earlier than I would have if I was on 3391. The puzzling thing is that I had no notifications from AS. Either text or email. What was even more odd is that when I got to the gate, the agents had to spend 3 or 4 minutes puzzling over my BP because the gate computers didn't show me as being on the flight. And once on board we were further delayed because there were several duplicate seat assignments that had to be sorted out, which is extremely unusual on AS.
Have any of you had a similar experience where you were moved to a different flight during IRROPS and weren't notified? My main concern is if I had arrived 1 hour before the scheduled departure of 3391 I would have missed the flight on which I was rebooked.
