Wikisource seems to have a similar issue relating to transcluded pages from the
Page: namespace when transcluded into the main namespace.

Wikisource has a PAGE: namespace where we undertake the editing of pages of
works.  These pages are then transcluded to the main namespace for presentation
to readers.

The issue is that when the indexing process takes place that the transcluded
pages in the main namespace do not get indexed, only the pages in the Page:
namespace, hence defeating the purposes of the work.

Examples of the two searches 
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Highways_and_Byways_in_Sussex
contains the relevant pages

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Highways+and+Byways+in+Sussex&fulltext=Search+in+this+work&fulltext=Search

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=singleton&prefix=Page%3AHighways+and+Byways+in+Sussex&fulltext=Search+in+this+work+%28Page%3A+prefix%29&fulltext=Search

This is especially problematic as the default searches do not include the Page:
namespace, and we wouldn't particularly want them to anyway.

The impact is at two levels.
* Base level searches do not find the relevant text is on site
* Drill down searches per work do not function, this is especially problematic
when one is working on reproducing large reference works, eg. 1911
Encyclopaedia Britannica.
