I'm not sure if this is another sympton of - http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/016836.html

But is anyone else seeing that when you search for a url www.example.com/whatever for example by simply pasting the url into Google it comes back with zero.

But if you do a site:www.site.com/ "whatever" search it will come back with the page showing it is in the index...?
