I am questioning my own understanding as well...
I re-designed a small "hopeless basket-case" site and uploaded it in early February. It got deep-crawled around the Feb 12th. Freshbot picked it up and it went through four cycles of #1 for a day, #23 for 3 days, #1 for a day, #23 for 3 days, etc., with the new title/snippet showing while "freshed" at #1 and the old stuff showing while #23. Then it got deepcrawled again two days ago. Yesterday and much of today, it had a fresh date of the 26th. Then, just a few hours ago, the fresh date disappeared, But... it's still at #1 with the new title/snippet. Huh?
Still scratching my head... Glad I'm not seeing things that aren't there! (Waiting for an important update to start can do that) :)

Yes, I think that the mid update FreshBot crawls are getting better, much like mini updates throughout the month.
I added lots of more targeted links to some of our pages and, although the new pages haven't been updated yet, the parent page with the links has and we're being found for the new links already!
