This happened to me once on AC, LAX-YYZ on 787. My business pod/seat was swapped about 6 hours prior to departure, and when I boarded my original seat was marked with INOP tape and seat cushion removed. F/A said it had been INOP on way from YYZ-LAX that morning as well. I ended up with a similar seat so I wasn't terribly concerned about it.
