The reason I believe this that websites effected now cannot only not rank for their previously highly competitive phrases, they also cannot rank for obscure and non competitive terms such as their own names in quotation marks - these rankings (Obscure phrases) are pushed down to near identical levels of where the major terms dropped to.

Ahh, ok. So it would be safe to assume that if Im still ranking for some long tails then I probably didnt get hit by this? I was never ranking except for allinanchor for any of my big kw's anyway, but of course Im trying to do all I can do avoid any penalty and keep the rankings I do have for long tails.
