I know I would not be happy and given from what I see I could very easily do just what you suggest may have happened.
Row 23 in new configuration is E+ exit row. In old, it's E, non-exit. I'm not sure what happens if there's a a/c swap. Premiers are probably on their own to monitor seats and make sure they have the seats they want. In this case, if they switched out of 9CD into row 23 before the latest a/c assignment, I think they're screwed unless they catch it themselves. If they were customers who actually bought E+ seats, and moved to 23, I would think/hope that UA would proactively assign them E+ seats after the lastest swap.
