This is a remarkably astute observation (thanks, Nathan!) and raises darn good questions.  I agree it is odd and I wouldn’t like to see this become a trend.

Anne, I don’t think you meant to “back-door” such “lesser status” tags into OSM, I don’t attribute any nefariousness on your part, as these are somewhat-subtle (yet still important) issues.

martianfreeloader, while I’ve never done it and it would be unusual, I believe we are allowed to change our vote right up until the “closing of voting” period. I wouldn’t encourage this behavior, as it can be seen as manipulative, but an “honest overlook” like you’ve outlined here seems OK to me.  If other or some rule somewhere I’ve missed / am unaware of contradicts me, I’ll happily make it MY turn to redact my “seems OK to me.”  (I believe I have seen votes go from approve / oppose to abstain, but I’d have to check, and it’s still pretty rare).
