Yesterday a headhunter contacted me about the same job for which I
had
already had two phone interviews and for which I was right in the
middle of filling out the application in preparation for an
in-person
interview that week.

It's nice to be wanted :-)

Anyway, one thing I didn't mention is I found the company directly
through an ad they posted. I don't know if a job that's advertised
that way is good or bad, but the ability to contact them directly and
get an interview is what I found ironic. So far a headhunter has only
helped me get one interview, and that was for a job which the
headhunter admitted was having trouble finding people with certain
skills, so the company was probably just desperate.

That always a bonus because I company will certainly not want to pay a
fee to an agent and would much sooner recruit directly.
