So that would match with fewer results being reported for site: queries but traffic not changing much. The pages are available for queries matching the supplemental results, but just adding a term or stopword to site: wouldn't automatically access those supplemental results.

That is not what is happening - the pages are gone on query matches aswell as site:domain.com matches.

However, I can believe for some of us that this maybe related to a cleanup of supplementals.

GG - what do you mean by a penalty - if you do a site:domain.com search and your homepage is not top is that likely to be caused by a penalty? - how are we supposed to know if we are penalized if we are in the serps and whenever we contact Google they return with a reply you are not penalized you can be found on a search like site:domain.com?

Is the penalty that Google applied to sites that had/have Canonical problems grouped into the above? Are Google still looking into a way of fixing that problem? (The penalty that went with the issue as much as improved Canonilzation)
