"They're working on it." [1]
It sounds like they put this mechanism into place that stops regenerating large torrents incrementally when it caused massive slowdowns for them, and haven't finished building something to automatically fix it, but will go fix individual ones on demand for now.

It is on my desk to fix this soon.
Also, it would be good to regenerate the web seeds metadata (this doesn't change the info_hash section) when the mirrors (subdomain prefixes) change.
(like PHP code except it is binary data--it could be done on the fly)
