If I understand correctly, if you try to update from 2.7.1 to 2.7.2, it

Chris, as I understand it, the hard-working SeaMonkey Council produce
the full version first, and then, maybe the next day, produce the update
file.

The full version and update files are all created before the new version is released. When the new version is released, the website gets updated, and the new update files are pushed to the auto-update channel (among other things). If you don't get prompted to update until the next day, it's because SeaMonkey checks for updates every 24 hours.

More specifically, there are two update files: partial and complete.
See <http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.7.2/update/win32/en-US/>. So when I say it falls back tot eh complete download, I mean that it falls back to the complete update file.
