When you click on the compartment and look at the part of the screen below this one it says something like 'flood recovery time' (I have no water in my boat right now so I can't check ) and after that time the compartment is water free.
I agree. That's how I've always interpreted them, too. When the left symbol vanishes the leaks are fixed/plugged, but you've still got to pump the compartment dry.
