I'm glad I wasn't imagining this.
Any plans for a down synthetic hybrid? I have an old bag that has a synthetic base and down top and it's really excellent even though it's not a great quality down or a highly renowned make. When I got my pipe dream I had to invest in a better sleeping mat because I hadn't accounted for how much insulation is lost when down is squashed up.
