On my last HNLPHX flight it was the same airplane that stopped in SJC and terminated in PHX for the night had two distinct flight numbers. I don't know why it wasn't marketed as direct, although at $178 I didn't really care.
The cabin crew stayed and pax had to deplane and reboard. Perhaps when the ETOPS portion terminates, they use another flight number to make subs available at the intermediate station.
