Re: Now I'm confused...

The ports will not revert back to listening/learning from just
receiving the BPDU. However, once a BPDU is received, the port will
lose portfast status. If for whatever reason it goes into blocking
mode (for example a better path to root is found), next time the port
goes out of blocking, it will go through listening and learning
phases.

And yes, portfast is almost as confusing as OSPF ;-)
