The limit is, and always has been, on simultaneous usage. Amazon won't let you download onto more than the stated number of devices simultaneously.

If you delete a book from a device while it's not connected to the internet, Amazon won't know that you've deleted it, and it will still count, until you connect the device to the internet and it synchronises with the Amazon servers.
That last sentence is a definite possibility. It's also possible that it was a propagation delay in refreshing the info on the servers since I deleted, then immediately tried to add. Either way, removing a device from the device list works as well. It's my preferred method when I upgrade devices.
