I don't think it's a bad thing. I tried to find out the Colonel's secret ingredient at my interview. After my interview, I flat out asked the HR rep what type of app gets the invite. He wouldn't divulge (shocking, I know). What he did tell me was that "typos and grammatical errors" are a big black eye for the applicant. Other than that, they have a point system, and tiers. You now know as much as I do about how I got invited.
As far as my "fix it" e mail, it was because I indicated I would not be able to relocate (make sure you click you can) and another thing that was actually already the way they wanted it. I just left it the way it was. I got the invite 2 days later. So, based on my experience, I believe it's a good thing, and your app is under consideration and they just need to tie up loose ends. I would guess they don't send fix it e mails for typos or grammar issues. Those just probably go to the circular file. .
