I've seen this too.
Regarding being told your flight is late, the other day my sister noticed her EWR-RDU flight had been updated to be 2hrs late. I warned her that she'd better not dawdle because it was likely to not leave quite so late. In the end it left less than 1/2 hour late and she made it to EWR with only 5 or 10 minutes to spare.
