Well that explains it!  If those 26 words appear before your meta keywords
tag in the document, they'll be indexed and counted first.

That won't help.  htdig parses the keywords in the order they
appear in the document, not in the order you specify the names in the
keywords_meta_tag_names attribute.  If you must index meta descriptions
as keywords, then the words in these descriptions will chew up part or
all of the max_keywords quota, as the quota is per document, not per tag.
If the meta description appears before the meta keywords tag, then it
may have already exceeded the max_keywords quota, so the words in the
meta keywords tag that follows it will be ignored.

I must say I don't understand the need to index meta description words as
keywords, as they are already indexed using the meta_description_factor
weight.
