I've just imported yesterdays Pennsylvania from Geofabrik and that works flawlessly for me. I get the state as an area and all is included, so I think that a broken boundary was the most likely cause of your problem. Some good samaritan must have fixed it in the meantime. Note that Nominatim is a bit protective about it's data. Once it has a good geometry it generally keeps old versions when somebody breaks the data in the OSM database. That is why you still might find good data on the osm.org instance while your own import does not work.
