For me, it still doesn't work. I get oldstyle numbers in the text, and
neither in Adobe Reader nor in okular, evince or xpdf the numbers are
searchable. However, I figured out that it is my version of the font
causing the wrong result.

When using the MinionPro fonts shipped with Adobe reader, I get the same
results as you:
