(Get the code!)
This was hard!
The problem is Arcturus proper motion: in the (quite far) future Arcturus exits its geodesic grid triangle (level 0, number 7) and StelGeodesicGrid, not taking this migration into account, removes Arcturus from search result when its original triangle becomes not visible. The same happens, for instance, to Barnard's star.
If nobody stops me, I'll try to target the problem making the stars with high proper motion and close enough to their triangle borders migrate in the right triangle at the right time.
