Of course, I'm not suggesting that a quarter-sized bruise is a valid 'safety reason', just that potentially there is no requirement to do what you're asking for. Still may have been enough to get the point across...
Agree, but since the door was presumably not closed yet, I see no reason for the airline not to document the new seat assignment.
