Actually, the Apple App Store allows apps to go from paid to free and back. And your app WILL see a spike during its free time. It's a known and exploited mechanism for developers to drum up interest in the app. How it affects the rankings, we don't know. Maybe an app just has separate stats for paid and free. Anyway, there is logic in a market implementation handling it either way. Or maybe the Android Market didn't follow Apple's lead because they had to wedge it into Google Checkout, which we know has been problematic.
