It seems like an unlucky confluence of a DYKWIA pax and a less than assertive FA. On most flights, FA's do all kinds of shifting and shuffling to help bags fit, so not sure why this would have been different.
You're also right that some pax seem to think that when they're in F, their overhead space allowance is unlimited. My personal experience with this is usually the first three guys who board an E175 and want to put their rollaboards and briefcases in the overhead, filling the space before the other 9 pax board.
