I had an issue where I'd booked seat in CW from LGW to PUJ. Seat selection was showing F cabin with all seats blocked instead of the J cabin. Looked through a few old Flyertalk threads and one suggested that there was occasionally a glitch with the BA website that shows cabins fully booked or indeed shows the wrong cabin.
The suggestion to get round this was to go into the check-in/manage booking on the Quantas website (you just need your booking reference and surname). Sounds daft I know but it worked for me.

Oohh now I am going to be very brave and offer a different experience from that of c-w-s. The two times I have been on a 4-class aircraft, I have reserved seats in CW and checked in, only to be moved to F by the airport on the day. The F seats didn't become reservable at any time before the flight.

However the other possibility, given that it appears First opened for you earlier on, is that they did in fact sell more seats in CW, but then they had no shows on the day.
I would not advocate using the Qantas MMB (or other airline Amadeus' views) to get into First: if in fact First remains closed then they'll just seat shift you to any available seating further back. It may still be a good gamble for some passengers but the risk is of being separated from the iWife.....
