This is a very common occurrence with altitude/temperature/wind/weight
restrictions. You can have 20 empty seats and still be overbooked. The
pilots and dispatchers are watching the weather conditions and will
have the bumped person on board until the very last second and then
remove him/her when the door has to be closed and the engines have to
be started.
