My similarly uninformed reading about CirrusSearch is that it uses elasticsearch, which in turn uses Lucene. So if the problem is between the incrementalUpdater and Lucene, I might have similar issues with CirrusSearch. But if CirrusSearch gives more informative errors, that would help!! And maybe I should switch anyway, as it sounds like support for MWsearch will go away at some point.
While they both use Lucene, it's ultimately apples and oranges with regard to your problem. Elasticsearch/CirrusSearch doesn't use the same incremental updater written for lsearchd/MWSearch so I don't think it'll be a problem anymore.
I do most of my development work on OSX (and I'm the other main developer on Cirrus with Nik), so you can rest assured that Cirrus and Elastic work just fine on OSX :)
