Default New Trend? or Old News? ~~Mandatory~~ self check-in

Could this have happened because it was in the "wee-small pre-dawn
hours" and the counter wasn't fully staffed?


No I don't think so. The 2 check-in stations (2 lines) were manned as
normal. AF only have 2 stations per flight for check-ins at NCL normally I
think.



It is the same with British Airways at Newcastle and, certainly, also at
Domestic check-in at LHR. The only way to check-in other than online or at a
machine is when you don't have a PNR recognisable by the system, such as
when on a ticket issued by a Code Share Airline (such as AA) or on some bulk
tickets.
