>Site lost about 30 backlinks, may have gone from PR 5 to 6, and looks about exactly the same in the serps.

I have a possible explanation for this. One of the mods here pointed out in this index Google has a lot more total pages than the last one. If these are things like bulletin board pages, etc. which would have low PR this might tend to drag down the PR of ALL higher PR pages. Thus, no relative advantage or disadvantage to those. However, the link: command only shows PR4 or higher pages. Thus, total backlinks may be the same, but the link: command shows less because some fell beneath PR4.
