I narrowed the problem down to a call to
eclim#project#util#ProjectStatusLine() in my statusline, where that
function comes from the "eclim" plugin. When I remove this function call
from my statusline, the problem goes away.

But I can't figure out what about that function is causing the problem.
It does shell out to do some tasks, but when I tried using system() or
exec '!...' in a statusline function, all I could do was create an
infinite loop as shell windows pop up, steal focus, return focus, and
trigger another statusline update. I could not replicate the missing
IncSearch highlighting.

It does appear at times that the IncSearch highlight appears briefly and
is then removed, in my normal config.
