Yeah, I took a look at what I wrote and I wasn't as clear as I thought I was. By SCHEDULED digest, I mean a digest sent out on a set time period or frequency (like Years, Months, Weeks, etc.). Those digests would have the volume number incremented and the digest number reset to 1. Any digests sent within (or BETWEEN) the scheduled digests time period / freq. for whatever reason - size, number of msgs - would increment the digest number only. If there are no digests/msgs to send, then the volume number does not increment.
That is essentially what I thought you meant, and as I said, that's not how it works in Mailman 2.1 (See below)
digest_volume_frequency and digest_send_periodic are separate, independent settings. digest_volume_frequency controls only when the volume number changes. digest_send_periodic controls whether or not a digest is sent when cron/senddigests runs (default, daily at noon). In any case, a digest is always sent when the size of the list's accumulated digest.mbox reaches digest_size_threshhold.
I.e. there are no 'scheduled' digests other than the ones sent daily by cron/senddigests and those have no relation to the volume number.
Even if digest_volume_frequency is Daily, and digest_send_periodic is Yes, and digests are sent at noon, a digest triggered on size at 09:00 will be issue number one of that day's volume if it's the first digest of the day.

This is not the way it works in MM 2.1. In MM 2.1, the volume increments and the issue resets to one for the first digest produced in a new period, where period is Year, Quarter, Month, Week or Day as set in Digest options -> digest_volume_frequency. The issue increments for each digest produced in that period whether the digest is produced 'periodically' or by size. If there are no posts/digests produced during a period, the volume doesn't increment for that period.
