In appadmin, I think all fields are made writable, which means the modified_on field should appear in the form - is that what you see? If so, the old value will simply be submitted with the form, so the value will not be updated (unless you manually change it).
The automatic update will only happen if no value is submitted with the form (i.e., the field is not included in the form).
