Re: This was a ruling situation I\'ve never encountered

If seat 3 was BB before you sat down, then you should have not been allowed to play until the button passed, OR you would have had to "buy the button".

Many places you can post a big blind between the button and small blind and not get the button (saves the small blind over buying the button, but you don't get the button).
As for the hand in question, the player to the new player's left will have to pay the big blind again. The last hand was played and the blinds are posted for the next hand based on the hand before. The floor might want to give the guy somethign to make him feel better, but the time for him to raise an objection would have been the hand before saying "the blinds aren't right."
