Well I've just tried the same steps you did:
1) Took a 320kbps mp3 in my library
2) Opened it in my audio editor (Ocen Audio) and muted the audio and resaved it, again as a 320kbps mp3
3) Checked the timestamp had updated and hit [Ins] to rescan the track back into MMW
4) Ran a sync to my phone
It didn't update or redownload the track on my phone during the sync and the old version was still on the phone (ie the audible music version and definitely not the muted/silenced one that is now on my PC).
But also it seems to have uncovered another bug as the muted/silenced version now won't play on my PC in when I double click it in MMW. When I try to play it in MediaMonkey, it instantly skips to the next track in the album and refuses to play (what should now be a minute long track of silence).
But if I go to the track in Explorer and open it in my audio editorI can see it's a 1 minute track of silence. Also if I double click the mp3 in Explorer it opens correctly in MMW and plays one minute of silence. But if I navigate to it directly in MMW and try to play it, it instantly jumps to the next track on the album and refuses to play it.
So not only is it not syncing an edited file, it also now refuses to play it in MMW.
More strangely, if I search for the muted track using the search box and try to play it from the search results, it refuses to play and skips to the next track. But if I navigate to it from a playlist that it's in, and then narrow it down to the artist using the column browser, it will play OK.
It's quite a tricky bug to replicate and not a common use-case but something definitely isn't working right for me after editing in an audio editor and rescanning into MM.
