No, I got a different seat, provided at the gate as boarding started. When the FA took my meal order the manifest showed me as someone else.
Re: calling DL - I did call after noticing my seat assignment disappeared, about 4hrs before departure. The phone agent couldn't do anything except say I was confirmed on the flight and I'd need to wait for a seat assignment at the gate. Got the same story from the check-in agent and skyclub folks at NRT.
My takeaway is I should have checked in on the app when I had a seat assignment.
I think I was pretty lucky, about an hour before boarding (before I got my seat) there was only one J seat remaining for sale out of NRT, on the SEA flight. I was ready for the worst but it worked out.
