[Vimperator] quick find regression

I've been using Vimperator since <0.4.1 -- it's great!
...but the quick find (forward-slash to search) doesn't seem to work
well in later versions, and I assume it's something I'm doing wrong --
I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction.
I have two machines with Vimperator. One I keep updated as new
versions come out, now at version 0.5.3. The other I haven't updated
since 0.4.1 because of the search issues.
On versions >0.4.1 I've found that searches only work within the
current page. If I open a tab, switch to it, and then try to search,
it doesn't work. If I reload the page, then search works again. I
often find myself opening a handful of tabs at once, and wanting to
search through them all. With the post-0.4.1 search behavior this is
rather unproductive.
How to test:
1) Open google.com
2) Search for something
3) Press "f" (QuickHint) and hold shift while entering a hint to
open that link in a new tab
4) Press "gt" (next tab) to switch to the newly opened tab
5) Press "/" (Quick Find) and then type something you see on the screen
- For me, nothing happens
6) Press "r" (reload) and retry #5 again: now it works as expected.
Any suggestions? Is it just me? Thanks!
