in my experience, dbms_stats always updates the last_analyzed column.

Here is some related information:

In 10gR2, we have a new view called DBA_TAB_STATS_HISTORY that keeps a record (at the table level) about previous runs of dbms_stats. By default history is retained for 31 days. Can be changed using DBMS_STATS.ALTER_STATS_HISTORY_RETENTION(). There is no corresponding DBA_IND view for stat history for indexes.

Also, DBA_OPTSTAT_OPERATIONS stores the history of stats collection operations performed at the schema or database level.
