Wait. So, sections=all is only /sometimes/ a pageview? ;) When?

For the apps, not necessarily!
The apps use a sections=all query to refresh saved pages, because that way we've only got the overhead of a single HTTP request per page. Since the user isn't actually viewing the page when it's requested, a decision was made not to count it as a "page view". That's the reason why we stuck to sections=0 for the apps, because it was a unique API signature that corresponded to normal browsing but not to saved pages refreshing.
If you have a better suggestion for any of this, let me know and we can talk about that.
