This appears that Google is trying to let pages rank well for a variety of closely related phrases.

Yed, indeed. The art of semantic indexing is trumping text match, more and more. I wonder if the recently improved targeting of some Google search traffic is somehow related (at least correlated) to the increased complexity of the title/description rewriting that Google is doing.
