Hi Ed,
You've beaten me too it.
I was wondering the same thing.
Maybe any trapped moisture was moving about or being split into oxygen and hydrogen to reduce the leakage current. Or if some how the oil has decomposed, passing a current through it alters it chemically in such a way as to restore its insulating characteristics again. Either way, I'm not surprised it wasn't particularly successful.
Cheers
