Playing "behind the beat" refers to the soloist (horn, singer, other) only. [...] I can't think of a reason why a jazz drummer would ever deliberately play behind the beat or speed up a tune.

If you listen to the yambu (Ave Maria) on the first Conjunto Folklorico Nacional record you will hear quinto played behind the beat, to the point where it seems to stretch into triple-pulse.

Man, to me that whole song is a train wreck, seriously, off key and no groove. That quinto is an example of a soloist playing behind the beat, I'm more concerned with a timekeeper role pushing the beat, like the clave. How can a clave player push or play behind the beat... [?]
