  Just my opinion, but I think they were desperate to find some place to shoehorn in a romantic moment between Harry and Ginny, and this was the best they could do. 

  But when they made that decision, I don't think they were looking to the future, and now they have an important aspect of the plot that simply can not be resolved, or at least not resolved in any satifying way.

  Certainly, on this one issue, this couldn't be the best they could come up with. To confound and confuse the plot so thoroughly, just to have Harry and Ginny kiss seems a very poor trade off. I would rather they manufactured a random way for them to kiss, than to confound the plot so thoroughly.

  All they had to do was follow the story from the book - the had the Quiddich match - Harry comes back to the common room, Ginny rushes him and they kiss.  Why make a problem when they did not have to?
  I guess what's pretty obvious to us simple folk doesn't cut it in the movie world.
