Says "Conditions of your ticket do not allow for seat reservations on LH.com.

Had a somewhat analogous experience last week. Bought a couple of business class code share roundtrips for my wife and I next Spring, and United's site let me immediately hold seats for three of the four segments. The one open segment was intra-European, and I wasn't exactly concerned about it, considering how mediocre service would be on a two-hour flight. Yesterday I logged into United to look again at the reservation, and low-and-behold I could hold seats for that segment. Yet the ability to change seats on the other three segments I had already grabbed, disappeared. When I log into Lufthansa using their records number, all four segments are showing the proper seat numbers (but are not changeable - offering the 23 hour in advance notification).
