Image claimed to be unused, but actually used

Description

There's something strange with [[:commons:File:StMartini GrEllershausen.jpg]]. This file is used at
[[:w:de:St.-Martini-Kirche (Groß Ellershausen)]]. However:

The API claims the file was unused:
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=imageusage&iutitle=Image:StMartini%20GrEllershausen.jpg

The file description page at the German Wikipedia also claims the file was unused:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:StMartini_GrEllershausen.jpg

The CheckUsage tool at the toolserver also claims the file was unused:
http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CheckUsage.php?i=StMartini_GrEllershausen.jpg&w=_100000

Only the GlobalUsage extension at the Commons correctly finds the use of the file:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StMartini_GrEllershausen.jpg
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:GlobalUsage&target=File:StMartini_GrEllershausen.jpg

I would have expected that at least the API and the local file description page reported the file as used, too. Don't know what the toolserver CheckUsage tool uses to find the usage.

Something failed intermittently. Removing the image and adding it back again caused the imagelinks table to be updated.

Not really something we can reproduce I think?
