A value of MasterSitemapNode.positionIndex = -1 causes a page to be ignored by navigation components (intended behaviour - sometimes things like Login / Logout pages should not be in the navigation structure)
The way the DefaultAnnotationSitemapLoader works means that a page defined, for example, as:
finance/local/purchasing
will have the 'finance' and 'local' pages defaulting to MasterSitemapNode.positionIndex = -1 - so they don't appear anywhere!
