I don't know what I was seeing before, but I'm not seeing this behavior any more.

Docs say that -r without -N or -nc will overwrite old files, but this is not the case: it generates new .1 files, just as it does without -r.

I butted into this recently when I wanted to replace all the .po files with the versions on http://translationproject.org/latest/wget/. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this.
