Is it a likely explanation that the shorts are just doing whatever they can on that day to contain the price, and then the next day(s) the stock goes up--albeit not as much?

more likely that the news was already factored into the price...or there is some other underlying reason people aren't buying...if a stock (or market) fails to rally on good news, you might consider it a short imho
There are times there are belated responses of a day or so, and I wanted to know if belated responses are more common by highly shorted stocks, due to their interest to dampen enthusiasm.

no it's not a likely explanation. if you are still using the shorts holding down stocks conspiracy then you need to learn a few things.
