Hi Steve,
Unofficial parts are automatically added to the LPub3D archive which is then loaded into memory on application startup. When LPub3D checks the PLI list it is verified against the part list in memory; therefore, if for some reason your part was not updated to the archive file, it is unlikely to be represented in memory and will not be detected/added to the PLI. This scenario is not common and should only exist if there is some path or configuration issues preventing automatic update of the LPub3D archive library.
From your description above, a more common cause for not seeing your unofficial part in the PLI/BOM is due to the fact that there is no meta line in the part file stating that it is a part. LPub3D recognizes the LDraw standards 0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part and 0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial Part, and the LDCad generated meta 0 UNOFFICIAL PART.
Cheers,
