I know Epson white semi-matte is advertised as only having 'short term'
stability, but it's so cheap that I really like working through a scan with
these great looking & inexpensive prints. I guess this begs the question:
how long is the 'short term' and what happens when it's over?

The last time I used real proofing paper (for proofing offset, etc. printing) the paper turns yellow in a matter of days when exposed to pretty much any light. It might even yellow in the dark as it does have a date stamp on the package. The stuff looks great and you can get a huge gamut out of it so I suggest you run your prints through a simulation of your normal profiles to get a better idea of what the final output will look like. I don't have any long term bits of this media around to tell you what the long term look will be.
