My concern is once the freeze comes in that the posts may twist. My question is do you think I am good or should I just eat the cost now and get him to pay me next summer to avoid this? If he says no, do I at least just brace them with 2X4s? Or should I be okay?

Tough call. Personally, I'd see if you can get him to agree to reimburse you in the summer (writing preferably) and do it now.
Worst case, I'd brace each post at the top/bottom on alternating sides of the 4x4. Problem there is you're effectively building a temporary fence anyways
