Thanks, Dana.  Obviously, I've misread PMC's Selective Deposit Agreement.  

I thought that PMC was supposed to receive content from participants no more than 4 weeks after publication and then agree to release full-text on a date specificed by the participant but no more than 12 months after publication.  I had assumed these embargoed article titles - but not full-text content - were searchable in PMC between the time the content was received but before the full-text was made available by the participant.  I'm very happy to learn that that is not the case.

Still, I wonder about journals with mixed content access under current mandates.
