That was intentional. In specific, it's this Changelog entry:
Disable Spotlight indexing on build directories, distfiles,
registry, log files, archives, base source and the default ports
tree. (cal in r113649)
You can avoid this by manually reverting the change and touching a file
named ".nohide" in the directory. See
