I was going by a "polyswitch fundamentals" doc from a manufacturer[1] - and had the weasel-word "properly" :)

Apparently the resistance falls quickly at first but can take a long time to fully return to pre-trip level.

This has caused trouble in the Raspberry Pi. Users were getting odd effects when voltages didn't quite return to spec after polyfuse trip. [2]
