You answered my question about making a job change recently. After initially accepting the offer, I recanted and turned it down. Later that day the HR Manager left me a voicemail stating management really liked me and wanted to sweeten the offer. I called this morning. Instead of making an offer, she asked me what it would take to get me to come. I gave her a number that was 6% more than what Iwas offered, but still well within the stated salary range. She later sent an email saying she gave the proposal to management and that they were going to pursue other candidates. They didn't even make a counter offer, and said they really didn't think I wanted the job. I thought it was bizarre. (link)

I agree, it IS odd. In my humble opinion, they were fishing. I think that, basically, they're looking for someone with a specific skill set to suit their needs and once they have their selection of candidates, they're looking to see they can get for the least amount of money.
Also in my humble opinion, that is probably not a company for whom you would enjoy working.
Best regards.
