Search fails but only on first attempt

This has been happening to me for a number of months now, but it's been consistent in its inconsistency. Anecdotally it seems to happen to me a few times a week (but then, that depends on how active I am on LT during that time, I suppose.) Having just happened to me yet again, I figure it's time I punch up a bug report:

Basically, what happens is I will search for something in My Books, author or title or tag (though I don't specify what field I'm searching) and the first result returned is the blank page with "No books found." But I know that's not the case, so I hit the search button a second time, and now the expected results appear. I don't expect this to be repeatable, but it's a regularly-recurring problem for me, to the point where I no longer trust the first "no books found" result. (The offending search just now was for "gail z. martin", which initially returned 0 books, but on the second try returned 6 books.)
