Just because of that I always delay my check-in as long as possible. And before doing it I go check available seats at "my booking", where it's still possible to change seats (before check-in).
I've noticed this too and I think it's a fairly new thing (around six months). I used to always choose a seat at purchase time (free for Gold member) and then sometimes change it at online check-in. Now I always get the "seat selection only available at the airport" message too. It doesn't really matter, it's just annoying. I was more interested to look at the seat plan a few hours before the flight to get an idea how busy it was and only move if there were other rows with an empty middle seat and mine wasn't. That's rare these days anyway.
