I suspect this is related to asynch loading. The first query is still
filling into the buffer, and emacs doesn't starting filling the second
buffer until the first search finishes. In my experiments it
_eventually_ does the second query. It just takes a while. I agree it
would be nice if there was some UI hint before the first result arrives.
