I've let books auto-checkout, but not gotten to them that first day. The number of days before expiration has been reduced by that day I missed (so instead of my standard default of 7, it showed 6 days, like any book I manually checked out the day before).
What I understand Jon to mean is that some percentage of holds expired without the book getting checked out, thus going to the next person on the list after a few days (each library determines its own waiting period).
