I noticed that when I added an item to the cart at a quantity which 
warrants a break, all the items on the results page get their price 
displays adjusted to the price for that quantity.

This is most likely an issue of interpolation order - looping tags (like 
[PREFIX-foo]) get precedence over stand-alone tags like [price]. Why don't 
you try using:

         [item-price N]

in your search results list, replacing N with the pricebreak threshold 
value (5 or 30), instead of [price ...] and see how that works for you.
