If the GA for the first segment inadvertently messed up the reservation that's a problem with claiming DOT-mandated IDB compensation: a confirmed reservation is required.

IMHO, the better avenue for compensation is 'I am disappointed Delta messed up when I volunteered for a later flight but my seat wasn't needed, and somehow I was bumped of my connecting flight.'

There are reasons - weight and balance of aircraft seating no more than 60 passengers being one - why even being bumped off the second flight would not bring mandated compensation.
