Actually, now that I think about it, 8.4 didn't allow on-the-fly
reindexing of shared catalogs anyway.  So that couldn't be your problem
even if the test had shown the indexes didn't match the catalog.  But
it seems the rows actually disappeared from the catalog, and I have no
idea what would've caused that.
