Yonik, thanks for looking into this. Here is a better example of the problem, using the example data from the latest dev version. Add the words "electronics" and "connector" to the features field of the first doc in ipod_other.xml. Now the following query:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=electronics&hl=true&hl.fl=features+cat will show "electronics" highlighted in the features field but not in the cat field. If you search instead for "connector", it is highlighted in both.
