hyperref adds "|hyperpage" at the end of the index entry, so the page
numbers become links.
But makeindex understand only _one_ |-feature, e.g.:
  \index{Hello} ==> Hallo|hyperpage ==> this should be ok.
  \index{World|textbf} ==> Hallo|textbf|hyperpage
     ==> makeindex does not accept this entry.
Therefore hyperref checks if a |-entry is present and
does not add "|hyperpage" to avoid conflicts with makeindex.

The solution is to create your own macros that add the hyperlink
support and disable hyperindex, e.g.:
  \usepackage[hyperindex=false]{hyperref}
  \newcommand*{\normal}[1]{\hyperpage{#1}}
  \newcommand*{\important}[1]{\textbf{\hyperpage{#1}}}
  ...
  \index{Hello|normal}
  \index{World|important}
