They might have anticipated receiving a more restrictive gag order when they originally put the canary in place.
I wonder if the NSA should have a team that just goes around organisations that have warrant canaries and sends them baseless confidential messages, just enough to trigger the canary. The fact that they don't do this suggests they don't think canaries are much use.
