Was this a recent change?  This happened a couple of weeks ago
(pre-email notifications), so I'm talking about notifications on my
logged in Freebase home page that never showed up, but I'm assuming
that there's a 1:1 correspondance between email notifications and
homepage notifications.

Oh wait, I see what might be the difference, you wrote "domain's
*homepage*." (emphasis added)  Does that mean discussions on a
specific type in the domain don't necessarily get notifications posted
unless you're subscribed?  If so, I think these should be included,
because that's where people end up when they click "Suggest a
property" on the type schema page.  All such suggestions should get
admin notifications.
