Sure, but that is only helpful if you remember that the site had previously worked before. Otherwise, it's just like your first time visiting it.

Yes it would be nice if the browser prompted more suspicion in those cases when a self-signed cert changes than when one is simply used for the first time. (Theoretically the changing of a regular CA-signed cert shouldn't prompt any suspicion, but I wonder...)
