Actually, it may be more insidious than that. When I did some testing over a 30 minute period, at one point making a new subdirectory caused the parent's mtime to update, but it updated to a time of about 10 minutes previous, when I had mad other changes. So it did change, but not to the current time. Very strange.

        Does running 'sync' after changes make any difference?

Doesn't appear to, no. No change before and after the sync command.
