No, the opposite. We know that get_matching_terms_begin() and
get_matching_terms_end() work directly. However get_matching_terms()
has extra code over them to make it all magic. (Yeah, TermIterator.)

You were suggesting that the problem might be in running the output of
get_matching_terms() through join(); I thought I saw something
suggesting that someone had tested the output of get_matching_terms()
directly, and while _begin() and _end() worked, that didn't.

I meant:
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.devel/1048> (I
think).

Yeah, which is why I think it's inside get_matching_terms().
