Indeed. It was definitely being "detected" as open, but was mostly physically locked along with the car. Until this weekend when it would often bounce open again if closed gently.
I now think that the interior mechanism was probably getting stuck in some interim position whereby it was physically just latched but the part of the mechanism that presses on and closes the microswitch hadn't moved far enough. Now it's been WD40'ed it also makes a much more positive sound when unlocking as well - a very positive sliding latch sound.
