That is so odd.
It's like they never cut off the extra rattan in the back.
I don't think that tucks in, most time that is cut off.

"any thoughts on the re-rounding?"

Yes, I would measure the base on the bottom.
Then cut a round circle out of 3/4''plywood about that size, next
keep cutting and sanding till it fits nicely
inside of the circle this will give strength and reshape.
Now take a dirll and drill small holes the size of a bamboo
skewer and glue the skewer through the base of the chair and into the plywood.
It may help to glue the area you drill and let glue dry before you drill.
This will help keep the bamboo wrap from comming off where you drill through it.
I don't think you will need to wet anything to do this.
Hope that helps.
