I didn't make a test case, but we have found (with at least Sphinx 1.4.x) you can't always have the same file in two different tocrees go into the same document. The behavior tends to be build specific. For example if you included bar in both toctrees (without using :hidden:) and the first instance was section 3.3 you would get different results with html vs pdf:
html: bar would show up twice, but they both would be 3.3, even though the second instance is in the middle of section 4 or 5 pdf: The second instance would be silently dropped and not show up in the output at all You may be running into something similar. We work around this issue by creating symlinks to create 2nd instances of our source files so they can be included more than once if required.
