Hi,

I could reproduce the problem starting a new site from scratch.

1) `nikola init site`, accepting all the defaults, no comments system.

2) Change the configuration as follows:
a) use "" as the destination folder for stories
b) change `INDEX_PATH` to "posts"

3) Add a couple off dummy posts

4) Add a new "home page" for the site
a) Set its slug to `index`, so it works as a proper home page
b) Change its date to "1970-01-01 00:00:00" to avoid the race condition
that was mentioned before (maybe this is unrelated... but still).
c) Add a `post-list` directive to include the last 5 posts

5) `nikola build`
The whole site is built as expected.

6) Add a new post

7) `nikola build`
The file output/index.html (i.e., the home.rst rendering) is NOT rebuilt,
and as such, the post list in it is not updated;

I'm attaching:
- conf.py
- test.log: the stdout of the whole process (stripping some of the first
build), with a couple of comments highlighting the points where I made
changes
- packages.txt: my list of packages (`pip list` from the virtualenv I'm
using). This is on Ubuntu 4.10, with Python 3.4, with `nikola[extras]`
installed in a virtualenv.

If you confirm this is a bug and you want me to open an issue in GitHub,
please let me know.

Also, I *might* get at shot at it if someone give me some pointers. My
python-fu is way too rusty nowadays :'(, but who knows...

Thanks!
