This method also works for fixing old posts that have been invisible since the forums broke. As far as I can tell, the posts that turned invisible are ones containing BBCode (quotes, embedded pictures, etc). Editing a post and checking the 'do not automatically parse URLs' option makes the post visible again, but deactivates BBCode.
I wonder if there's a way for an admin to make a global change to activate that check box for all old posts and have it checked by default for new ones. In theory that should make everything except pictures and videos visible again.
