Well, even though the ghost files cause them to appear in the
pagelisting, they still aren't read and are treated as though
they don't exist.  So I still suspect that .pageindex got out
of sync.

I really do recommend removing .pageindex after overwriting the
files -- it's much safer and shouldn't affect the search
much.

Perhaps we should come up with an attribute or markup that
indicates "don't put this page in the pageindex".
