ORIGINAL POSTER
I heard on local radio this morning that the authorities are advising folks that need an extension to apply before the 26th. Obviously this has something to do with the amnesty expiration, but what are they expecting? A rush of emergency appeals for leniency?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Authorities are advising that individuals needing a visa extension apply before September 26th, due to an upcoming expiration of an amnesty. It is emphasized that there are no options for leniency appeals; those without a long-term extension must either have an embassy letter for a 30-day extension or a medical letter, or they need to be prepared to leave Thailand by the deadline.

There is no "appeals for leniency" :O

If you haven't sorted out a long term extension by now, you either have the embassy letter and you get a 30 day extension OR you have a letter from a doctor or hospital to get a medical extension OR you prepare to depart on or by the 26th of Sept..

They are telling people to apply now because there is no up side to waiting until the last day because the amnesty specifically states the extension will start on the 27th of Sept.
