If I were to do it again i wouldn't rototill, i might add a little soil if i needed to, but i think all i did was stir up a bunch of weed seed. (can't say for sure though)

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?

You 100% want to get the fence up ASAP. My last fence was 4x4 post and they twisted terribly and that was with the whole fence constructed. The fence we just built a couple weekends ago was 4x6 posts and haven't noticed any twisting yet but we did the whole thing immediately.
