I suspect this has happened to me before as I have banged my head against the wall in the past with my rules failing to work only to have them start working again.
There's either a bug in Hazel or perhaps some suspension in spotlight indexing (assuming you are building on top of Spotlight).. Either way, something is going on here..
I even went as far as finding a PDF that I downloaded and used Hazel to simply open it if it matched a word inside just to rule out PDF files scanned with my ScanSnap as the source of the issue.
