Catalog-aware content has always been responsible for reindexing itself
after updates;  the base class can only help with the "after add" and
"before delete" cases.  What probably happened is that some method you
call inside your own 'edit' method used to call 'reindexObject', and now
no longer does because, in the class where it is declared, another
method now does that.

That is just a guess, though.
