ICal does not search all-day "detached events"

Question

I've encountered a very specific, repeatable search problem:
(1) create an all-day repeating event (e.g., repeat daily for five days);
(2) add some text to the Notes field, and apply to All occurrences;
(3) search Event and To-do Items for some text in that Note, and all 5 instances of the all-day event are properly found;
(4) open a single instance of the all-day event, and replace the Note with different text;
(5) save the change for "Only this event" (this creates what used to be called a "detached event" in iCal 2.0);
(6) search for the new note text -- iCal doesn't find it.
This is NOT a Spotlight problem. I can search for the same text in Spotlight, and it returns the correct iCal events. Bento also has no trouble finding those events with the note text.
This problem is a real nuisance for me, because one of the ways I use iCal is to have a Calendar called "Notes" with a repeating all-day event called "Daily Notes", which I use as a poor-man's journal. Unfortunately, those notes cannot be searched within iCal.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

Jamaicangal,
Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, try resolving duplicates.
