Both problems could be solved with a way to "put it back on the card". It could be made such that if the same card is tapped at the indicator, it goes back to amber, and they may then tap again at any one seat on the same exact train (the card could store the train number on it, or the computer in the car could maintain a list of allowed cards to re-tap). Careful programming would be needed to prevent abuse, or accidental double-deductions from ten-trips, but it is doable.

As far as going to the bathroom and finding your seat stolen (after forgetting to un-tap your card), you could un-tap it then and there and sit somewhere else. Unlike just grabbing the seat check, you literally hold the cards in proving that seat was yours.
