Being seated can't be legally meaningful

  And even if it were, I can't imagine actually bringing lawyers into it even in the rare event of the airline not noticing until after boarding that two people have the same seat.

  Being "seated" is not, but being "boarded" actually is, with respect to being bumped. Generally, being boarded means that you can only really be removed from the plane for inappropriate behavior, otherwise your removal is considered by definition involuntary, which means more compensation (and cash compensation, at that - which I know is changing soon).
