Say a sorcerer with the draconic bloodline chooses to make mage armor one of their spells known at 1st level. What happens when that sorcerer hits 3rd level and would be entitled to add mage armor to their spells known? Is the sorcerer simply down one spell known for their foolish impatience? Is the sorcerer allowed to choose a different spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list?

I believe they can train out old spells for newer ones as they level, but only starting at 4th level.

Yes, you can retrain spells. As a DM, I'd houserule that a sorcerer can get a free retrain every time their BL spells would give them a duplicate. You don't want to punish your players for having great spells on their BL spell list that they actually want to use.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered sorcerer level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a sorcerer can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows
I'd allow to change it inmediately. But if you want to play RAW the player should wait 1 lvl to change it.
