Alright, so this is apparently not a bug, but by design: the retention period is cached inside of each individual backup, and that's what the cleanup job looks at. So you can change the retention period as much as you want, every backup will still expire after the retention period that was in effect when it was created. Most counterintuitive, and I've suggested they consider changing that behaviour in the future. -- Linux Bier Wanderung 2012, now also available in Belgium!
