This issue is fixed in the SharePoint Server 2007 Hotfix Package that is dated February 26, 2007.

How to enable the hotfix

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Applications\<guid>\CatalogNames\Portal_Content
    Note The <guid> placeholder is the GUID of the SharePoint Server portal.
  3. After you click the subkey that is specified in step 2, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value.
  4. Type FollowPortalLinks, and then press ENTER.
  5. Right-click FollowPortalLinks, and then click Modify.
