I would think installing a kext in /System/Library/Extentions should cause the "modified" date of the /System/Library/Extentions directory to be updated. Is that different somehow if a previous version of the kext already exists?

Explicitly touching the directory the recommendation, and for good reason. For example, if you're updating a KEXT called "Foo", it's an implementation detail of the installer as to whether it deletes and recreates the directory /S/L/E/Foo.kext, or whether it just reuses the existing directory.
