So, you get given an entry in timeline:/today that you had not modified (or
changed its metadata) today. If you wait a day, that file doesn't appear under
"yesterday" in the timeline.

You can download/copy .JPG's and baloo indexes them but these don't appear in
the timeline.

Sounds somehow like a caching issue within Dolphin or timeline.so.

In the case that you still see the issue (it's a long time ago and there've
been a load of baloo bug fixes :-), check the details of the file on the
filesystem and compare to the data that baloo has extracted.

First

    stat strangefile.jpg

which will show the date/times when the file was modified plus when the
filesystem metadata was changed (normally the same, but "changed" would show
when you've changed permissions or added any tags)

Compare these to the dates/times from

    balooshow -x strangefile.jpg

The modified/changed times ought to be the same. The two commands also show the
device number/inode for the file. These also should match (otherwise baloo has
more than one entry in it's database for the file, and much confusion may
ensue...). It is also possible to check whether baloosearch gives more than one
result for

    baloosearch strangefile.jpg

There has been a fix where baloosearch returned blank lines, Bug 431664, that
confused krunner. Who knows...

I'll flag this as "Needsinfo" in case anyone is listening 8-)
