If I try to "check-in" the biblio (using its barcode), I can find it too.  We just can't find it using a normal search in the catalog.  There seems to be some errors due to rebuild-zebra.  The person who receives the logs by email says he receives these errors:

Yeah, sounds like rebuild-zebra is working, but it's running into some
bad MARC records that makes it stop before it reaches your newest
records. Based on the error message, I would take a long, hard look at
the records with biblionumber = 9413 and 10570, and see if they
contain any odd characters etc.

It might also be informative to try a full Zebra reindex, with verbose output:
sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v <instancename>
