A recent rule clarification is that returning to the Action phase triggers "end of buy phase" effects.  Does this imply that there are multiple separate Buy phases rather than a single interrupted one?

Consider the following scenario:
  • During my Action phase I play a Hermit.
  • During my Buy phase I buy (and therefore gain) a Villa.
  • That causes me to return to my Action phase.
  • I again end my Action phase.
  • I don't gain any cards during the subsequent Buy phase.
Does the new wording of Hermit mean that the Hermit will now be exchanged for a Madman?  My assumption is that it does, but am I right?

Yes, the new Buy phase is a new Buy phase, and Hermit only cares about that Buy phase, not the previous one that happened on the same turn.
