--------------------------------------

Gah!  You are correct Jim (though not on the rationale).  I temporarily changed 
the freq to observe that the test would fail (and that the former score was 
lower), but then I forgot to change it back!  I ran precommit but forgot 
another round of executing the tests to be sure.  Thanks for fixing this up.

> The UnifiedHighlighter (and original Highlighter) highlight phrases by 
> converting to a SpanQuery and using the Spans start and end positions to 
> assume that every occurrence of the underlying terms between those positions 
> are to be highlighted.  But this is inaccurate; see LUCENE-5455 for a good 
> example, and also LUCENE-2287.  The solution is to use the SpanCollector API 
> which was introduced after the phrase matching aspects of those highlighters 
> were developed.
