It seems to me that any change in the length of the string because of poor seating on the bridge or deformation of the bridge surface, would be insignificant. However, that said, I believe that a poorly seated string coupled to the a loose bridge pin actually lowers the pitch because it is as if the pulse traveling along the string suddenly thinks that the bridge pin is part of the string and thus a longer string length.
