presumably they have not submitted and are awaiting a natural crawl

I doubt that many sites of note have not been crawled by now by MSNbot. So they just must be badly optimised for the new engine.

Just be happy Phantom if you are beating the big boys, and hope it will continue.

I am in the UK so it doesn't work with me yet, but I would seriously consider creating pages which are geo-trageted in nature to all zip codes in which you operate if you want to get serious. That "near me" button will potential become a massive discriminator.
