Apparent truncation problem - FULLTEXT BOOLEAN MODE

In MySQL 4.0.21 I am experiencing an apparent anomoly when searching FULLTEXT IN BOOLEAN MODE -- intermittently returning zero search results for a parenthesized expression containing a word with a truncation character. See searches 16 & 17 below. What would explain this behavior? Is my syntax unacceptable? Is a fix in the works? Thanks.
Sample Searches (result count):
01. +smith (1228)
02. +missile (9444)
03. +missile* (11265)
04. +jones (619)
05. +rocket (27624)
06. +gobbledygook (0)
07. +smith +missile (159)
08. +smith +missile* (209)
09. +jones +rocket (197)
10. +(+smith +missile) -(+jones +rocket) (159)
11. -(+smith +missile) +(+jones +rocket) (197)
12. (+smith +missile) (+jones +rocket) (356)
13. +(+smith +missile*) -(+jones +rocket) (209)
14. +(+smith +missile*) +(+jones +rocket) (0)
15. -(+smith +missile*) +(+jones +rocket) (197)
16. (+smith +missile*) (+jones +rocket) (197) [Why not 209+197=406?]
17. (+smith +missile*) gobbledygook (0) [Why not 209?]
