Yes, Fmax does increase. Look at the equation. Seriously, LOOK at it. That's EXACTLY what it says.
It flies in the face of my statics, dynamics, and I can't remember how many physics courses I've had.

Fmax isn't really in the equation. You just know that if the calculated force of friction exceeds Fmax, then you are sliding and must now use kinematic mu. I'm talking wood blocks sliding on a table here.
