Which version of mod_interchange are you running?  Kevin made an update
not too long ago (05 Aug 2002, v1.22) that might be related to this issue.
I glanced at the list archive postings you mentioned, and I think it had
something to do with character encoding.  From Kevin's mod_interchange site:

          o Fixed a bug reported by John Young.  Mod_interchange was not
             decoding entities in the REQUEST_URI, which caused Interchange
              searches (scan) with encoded spaces to fail.

If you are current with that, what server OS are you running?  I have seen
different behavior between Linux and Solaris with mod_interchange (but it
may have been due to my Solaris compiling or something of that nature).

You might also wish to study the files in your Interchange tmp directory --
that is where IC saves more lists by default.  You can find them in subdirectories
named according to session id's.
