What's the deal with MNG-2858??!?

I've sent email to this group, I've written a bug
(http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2858), but still no one has given
any kind of response.  Maybe we're the only ones on the planet that are
having this problem, but it is happening repeatedly and is beginning to
hinder my group's acceptance of Maven 2.  They try to build a project
that is supposed to work and it says it can't find a dependency that is
supposed to be there (and it is, but Maven just isn't looking for it).
The message for my development group is "Maven 2 doesn't work".
 
If anyone has any insights, please reply.  If you have any idea where I
could look to find this problem in the code, I would love to be able to
fix it.

Welcome to open source development. There is a small team of
programmers working on things (including dealing with bug reports) and
then quite a number of users using the product and reporting issues.
Users# >> Developers#. Therefore, it is challenging for the
Development team to keep up with all the reported bugs, new feature
requests, etc.

I see that bug was posted on March 5 so roughly 1 month ago. I have
several bugs that I've personally posted which are 6 mos old (or
older) and have not yet been seriously addressed by anyone, including
myself. But I probably haven't posted any tests and/or they are issues
which will be dealt with in M2.1, so I'm willing to wait.  None of my
issues are disasterous and without work-arounds. In your case, I'd
suggest installing a Maven proxy like Archiva or Proximity which might
help your issue.

As for your problems... I don't know where you should look to fix it.
Feel free to dig around until you find it and fix it, and submit a
patch (with tests of course).

Finally, I hope you realize that posts like these on this list are
generally considered "rude" and will probably be received as such by
most people.

no example, no output, no tests,...
I can point you to companies and people that will be glad to help you
if you pay their time, but with what you are providing I don't see how
would anybody in the community help you.

You could try setting up multiple "remote repositories" through the 
"file://" type of URL. That way you can zip up the whole bunch (try to 
make it as simple and lean as possible) and attach it to the issue.

I could try it with multiple public repositories, but I don't know any
besides the central one.  Can you name some?  I would especially need at
least one that has a specific artifact that ISN'T also in the central
repository.  If there aren't such repositories already out there I can
try to find some public server space somewhere that I can create some
test repositories, but I don't know of any such server space at this
time.

There isn't enough information there to help.  I routinely build
projects against multiple repositories (with an empty local repo) and
Maven has no trouble finding parent poms in the repository.  However,
none of mine is a Maven 1 repo, maybe that's it.

Does it happen with the latest release, Maven 2.0.6?  Can you reproduce
it using a few public repositories, and attach a test project?
