Clarification from Synthesis, that I just received:

"This is on purpose, because from the server's viewpoint what happens 
at "reload
device"
is exactly the same as with a slow sync where the device's database is empty.
The only
difference is in the client, which erases the local database before 
starting the
sync.

As there are quite a number of servers that do not support other modes 
than 200
and 201,
our clients always use 200/201 (which are mandatory in every server) 
instead of
the
possibly unavailable 204/205."

And of course, having said that I have things working, I wiped my 
Palm...and now
my calendar won't sync :/
