It was my understanding that only ports below 1024 were considered "well-known" and thus "reserved". Is this wrong?

Registered ports are not reserved in the same sense that well-known ports are. So there's no prohibiting against using the port number for some other purpose. However, since someone has gone to the trouble of registering the port, the potential for confusion exists.

If no one is reporting any problems, then it's probably not a big deal.
