It looks like this is the same problem. Let's call your pages A/B/C. You
started moin.py, created A, restarted it, created A/B, added a link to
A/B/C and created A/B/C. Then you searched for a term which just can be
found on the page A/B. And it was not found because MoinMoin does not know
about the page A/B at all (because the dircache relies on the modification
date and that one didn't change).
I hope that I will find a fix (I haven't looked into it, though). :-)
Kind regards,
Alexander
