actually this is a feature; as berend says: use \index before the word to
index (think of this: if such a word hyphenates, you want the ref on the
page where the forst part ends up).
the idea is as follows:
\chapter {something}
\index{oeps}
\index{more}
some text
now this works well, if the \par would not be eaten, there would be a write
node and thereby interference in the spacing (in some situations resulting
in too much whitespace for instance.
