In the past 10 months I cannot do this anymore and I have to do it through my travel agent. Didn't try calling AF yet to ask if they have a clue, but I trust the people on FT to be more competent than most call centres.
I have no problem on my side, either with my personal bookings done on AF website or with my work bookings done through an OTA. I can pre-assign and change seats before and after ticketing. But the bookings a done in France as P.O.S with France as departing point, so this is a slightly different situation as you.
