Certainly could, if you're using the online maps.  Check again later and they may be present.  I believe they keep a cache of used maps and schedule their server to render more tiles if they are requested.

Try the OSM_tiled* maps instead.  I'm using the mapnik versions of those.  With those you get small tiles and Xastir stitches them together, as well as caches them.  Much nicer when you only move a little bit:  Xastir only has to snag the tiles at the new edge(s).
