Digg probably changed the algo temporarily so no one will have definite proof...they're like that. Yeah a lot of bloggers are writing about this at the moment (even though you broke it 3 months ago).

When I see a link coming in from "digg/news/page2" it baffles me! that sort of incoming link should not be showing up if the story is buried.

After all, there used to be days that every front page story on digg would not load. Since digg is all about appearances lately, I guess it's smart on their behalf to auto bury these stories (why generate traffic for duggmirror?). The more interesting story here would be testing their new auto-bury algorithm....More to come.... And on another note, if you're running your server from home, it's one thing, if not - my cheapo godaddy account has survived diggs and stumbles...I guess I'd recommend it.

It is definitely some good exposure for you with the traffic spike. And, it is even harder to get onto the front page of Digg. One must seriously have a unique and great story in a mixture!
