This won't help much, but I have the same questions since I rank well when allintitle/text aren't screwed up and basically causing my site to disappear every few days. I don't think anyone knows what's going on with this, that's perhaps why you haven't gotten a reply.

As far as I know, allintitle tells you how you would rank if the only thing that counted was your title, and I assume allintext is for on-page content only. As, allinanchor is for anchor text on inbound links only. Using these tools can show you if you have any opportunity to improve your title, text, and/or anchor text if the tools say you should rank higher than you actually do in the SERPS. (I thought this is what the tools were created for...so webmasters can make sites more in line with what Google wants - I may be wrong though)

You probably already know this and your question is: what the heck is going on with allintext/title when my site's title & content are pretty darn good, but the tools sometimes say I should not even be in the index. Not to mention allinanchor stays awesome. That's my question anyway.

The answer I'm trying to convince myself is that Google is sort of broken or going through super-duper changes right now and SERPS just aren't quite right. Since my site is a truly unique one that offers the most products to consumers in my topic, it really shouldn't be disappearing so much. Hope that helps a little!
