indexing on partitioned table after load file not working?

We have a 700M+ row table "list" partitioned by one column. We do an initial bulk
load with indexing turned off:

alter table disable keys;
load data infile ....
alter table enable keys;

Then we incrementally add a new partition and load data into it:
alter table ... add partition (partition np) values in (x);
load data local infile ....

The newly-loaded data only goes into the newly-created partition.

The problem is that the new partitions are not indexed even though indexing has been re-enabled. The .MYI files on those subsequently-added partitions are 1/2 the size of the partitions added prior to re-enabling keys. Selecting from the new partitions is 10x slower than the earlier partitions so indexing is definitely not working as all the partitions are of the same size and have the same key distributions.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Thank you.
