I concur: I took a fairly empty 767 to ARN last year, sitting in the Y cabin window seats. As soon as the tannoy came across "cabin crew that's boarding complete" several people leapt up and moved, only to be politely scolded by crew who asked them to return to their original seats until after take off.
