...I was more curious than anything else to check the stat out and see it working. Very weird then that nothing happens when sat in pan of boiling water.
If it's not working the way it should then perhaps you should suspect that then? If it was sticking shut and then popping open, it might give rise to the symptoms you describe. You'll soon know once you put the new one in. There should be a number stamped on the lip of the stat; this tells you the opening temperature.
