And yes, it looks blocked, as do about 80% of the other seats in the cabin which I don't quite get. I guess what I'm asking is, how do I interpret this, or is this just normal and you can't read much into it until people check in at -24 and the blocks fill up?

this is normal! TS blocks lots of seats for various reasons. People with non status will get very little choice once check in opens. hence what you see. Is your ff number in EF? If not then you may see a different seat map if you add it.
